I sometimes feel like an odd lemming. The herd is blindly running somewhere(?) and I stood up to look. Now that I know, I'm screaming at my friends to stop and check it out or they are all going to die!
Refusing to accept the truth about the cliff, they think I'm a nonconformist "because I had the nerve to check it out." Therefore my extreme arguments are invalid and to far to the right. They keep running, I keep looking at the cliff.
Nice to see another lemming standing up.

BTW, Most of the lemmings believe another famous American who said
"
It isn't pollution that is harming the environment, It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it"
For this kind of thinking, Al Gore won a Nobel prize
And the lemmings believe and follow......
It is sad to comment that the majority of these kids with the
environmental religion are very young. Mostly kids that haven't had
too many bad economic struggles to overcome. They've
managed to slide through most of their lives in comfort, don't seem
to have many core values, and being young want to be at the
vanguard of everything. Environmentalism is the in thing right now,
or I guess I should say the elixer of the young, in crowd. It is a very
emotional issue with most of them. Not too many young college
educated environmentalists are thinking about whether this
hysteria has any basis in fact, its just really cool to be a tree hugger.
They can sit around at Star Bucks and be like really deep
intellectuals on the world and how they will turn it into a perfect
utopia of goom by ya, holding hands, and sitting with their legs
crossed. In reality most have trouble spelling environmentalism and
have no clue, like everyone else, how to measure all the points
in the athmosphere needed and putting a label on that molecule
that states whose it is and then totalling that number up to come
to any sort of realistic conclusion. They believe they have found
the anus of the world, and have stuck in the thermometer and just
flat know who is causing all this temperature. When they speak it
is with great sarcasm and anger and stridency. There is no humility
in their insistence that they and Al Gore are right and everyone
else is an idiot. So leave them to their fantasy, eventually it will
become clear that global warming is the greatest boondoggle since
Y2K where out of hundreds of millions of computers none failed
and caused a catastrophe. Same hysteria then as now with no
basis in fact...let em blather,eventually they will outgrow it...
