I don’t know that Lenin’s birthday had anything to do with the date of ‘Earth Day’. Someone nasty in history was probably born on every day of the year. (An early advocate of homosexual and transexual rights was born on June 6 - should we have deferred D-Day to another date?)
Some of the people here need to read the actual title of this thread, and the original source article.
Radical so-called ‘Liberals’ have taken over a lot of good ideas and twisted them. Some of the people here are helping them by demonizing what was originally a good idea, instead of trying to bring it back to what it should have been.
Do you think it would be a good thing, if we never gave any concern - or developed any regulations - regarding pollution? And if you don’t, how do you think we should have managed it all?
Earth Day was never about pollution. Nor are any of the environmental laws and regulations written by unelected bureaucrats. Think about where our former industrial strength has gone.
Given Gaylord Nelson’s background as a left-wing Democrat, it is no mere coincidence Lenin’s birthday was chosen for his special “day”.
