Comments on: A New World Order… http://pickupthepen.com/2008/04/17/a-new-world-order/ To honor the written and spoken words of thought and emotion. Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:16:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Myles http://pickupthepen.com/2008/04/17/a-new-world-order/#comment-275 Myles Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:07:29 +0000 http://pickupthepen.wordpress.com/?p=50#comment-275 That is a huge issue, but until then we need to find a way to be more equitable with the fossil fuels we do have. Ethanol obviously doesn't work and is hurting the world's food supply, and many of the solutions offered by environmentalists seem to make things worse. Policy makers need to find a way to do this without destroying our economy and forcing us to live in the dark ages. I am all for helping animals and the environment, but it's not fair that Al Gore to ride around in Jets while complaining about "carbon footprints." He can afford the extra costs to make his house(s) "green" while the rest of us are forced to pay for those changes through excessive taxation, higher food prices, and expensive "alternative energy" products. There has to be another way of going about this than giving the central government more control over our lives. I do believe the earth's temperature is changing, but I don't believe that humans are 100% responsible for it. People are treating environmentalism like it's a new fad, like the Ipod, or an HDTV, so they can preach to others about how the way they live their lives is so much better than the people who don't or can't afford to. One of the best examples of why I think global warming and other eco-scares are at best theories are here: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,910467,00.html (time magazine 1972, "Another Ice Age?") http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,20080428,00.html (Time Magazine, 2008 "How to win the war on global warming") ***Please note the extreme disrespect to IWO Jima veterans (2 of wich were my great uncles) here. Pardon my outright disgust. That's the conundrum here, both political parties (socialst workers party and democrat), there are no republicans running, and barack and hill are socialists, will give the central government more control over the people. What's the solution? Vote libertarian? (or the libertarian running as a rep, Ron Paul?) I don't know, I wish I knew.
