Let's examine a few statements reflecting a vision thought to be beyond question. "The world that we live in is beautiful but fragile." "The 3rd rock from the sun is a fragile oasis." Here are a couple of Earth Day quotes: "Remember that Earth needs to be saved every single day." "Remember the importance of taking care of our planet. It's the only home we have!" Such statements, along with apocalyptic predictions, are stock in trade for environmental extremists and non-extremists alike. Worse yet is the fact that this fragile-earth indoctrination is fed to our youth from kindergarten through college. Let's examine just how fragile the earth is.
The 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano, in present-day Indonesia, had the force of 200 megatons of TNT. That's the equivalent of 13,300 15-kiloton atomic bombs, the kind that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. Preceding that eruption was the 1815 Tambora eruption, also in present-day Indonesia, which holds the record as the largest known volcanic eruption. It spewed so much debris into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight, that 1816 became known as the "Year Without a Summer" or "Summer That Never Was." It led to crop failures and livestock death in much of the Northern Hemisphere and caused the worst famine of the 19th century. The A.D. 535 Krakatoa eruption had such force that it blotted out much of the light and heat of the sun for 18 months and is said to have led to the Dark Ages. Geophysicists estimate that just three volcanic eruptions, Indonesia (1883), Alaska (1912) and Iceland (1947), spewed more carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than all of mankind's activities in our entire history.

Decades ago, when Thomas Sowell stumped billy jeff clintoon during a Q&A from clintoon’s audience, it was apparent that Dr. Sowell would be slammed by the left because he was too intelligent to take on the Jesse Jackasson/Al Sharptoon Democrat mold for black men in leadership.
“Fragile”...Must be Italian.
I happened to see some advertising for “Green Star Coffee” in Santa Barbara. Their logo looked curiously like the old Soviet emblems, except the star was green. I did some digging, sure enough, they were formerly known as “Red Star Coffee”. Amusingly enough (to me) they timed the re branding to occur on April 22nd, “Earth Day”, but, as we also know, is Lenin’s birthday.
I thought this quote from their owner hit the nail right on the head, with the point you, and Walter Williams make:
“We’ve been Red Star Coffee, but we always thought that having a name that was a little more ‘green’ fit better with our core values.”
If you visit their website, you would swear it was created by Karl Marx.
