This epitimizes today's media and press.
Communists: For your own good, we will make you live like peasants (or even better, starve to death) while we live high on the hog.
Environmentalists: For your own good, we will make you live like peasants (or even better, starve to death) while we live high on the hog.
Tribal warlords: For your own good, we will make you live like peasants (or even better, starve to death) while we live high on the hog.
Yassir Arafat, Taliban, whatnot: For your own good, we will make you live like peasants (or even better, starve to death) while we live high on the hog.
etc. etc.

Where’s the media when you need them?
Earth Hour was the ONE TIME per year that we tested all our outdoor and indoor lights to make sure they all could operate at the same time.
I missed it last night. Now what do I do?
“Earth Hour stigmatizes human accomplishment as the root of all evils and treats the lack of accomplishment as an accomplishment. For all the pretense of activism, environmentalism celebrates inaction.”
Distilling down to the essence as only Mr.Greenfield can. He makes writing look easy.
The world just keeps getting crazier. There are now so many crazy people in the world with so many crazy causes that it will be a miracle if humanity and civilization can survive.
Yes, these noble (sarc) environmentalists are out to save the planet...for themselves. They demand we be vegans, ride bikes, abort our children, have no pets, but they live like kings and pretty much do as they please!
I can visualize an outline for a good short story or movie. An earth-shoe type family sits down to celebrate Earth Hour by turning out the lights; prattling on about how wonderful it is; saving energy, etc. After an hour, they go to turn on the lights... and nothing works. No lights. No heat. Stepping outside they find no lights on anywhere.
Great rant. A minor correction: It HAS a god; the self. When God is rejected....well, nature (dictated by God) hates a vacuum
The world just keeps getting crazier. There are now so many crazy people in the world with so many crazy causes that it will be a miracle if humanity and civilization can survive.
John 3:19 “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
Sounds like a description of Dear Reader.
Bump....
Smart...thanks!
Does this statement explain our current economic policy?
Yes, it does.
This is of his best pieces (from many good ones!) so far.
I think one of the reasons modern liberalism hates Judeo-Christian religion so much is that man is the center of it. That is, God is the center, but man, created in His image and likeness, is the center of the created world and has been given dominion over it.
This conflicts with the anti-mankind eco-religion of the liberal world.
Very well written. Great post!
