Excellent points^^. And ones which 'point out' the nature of the anti-logic of the left as it applies to their view of the environment. Expanding on the liberal view, everything which affords mankind his basic necessities of life, including the energy we use to keep warm and power the very industry which sustains billions of people, provide food, medicine, and literally gives birth to the science necessary to keep man's understanding evolving toward a more enlightened world, is on the liberal 'kill' list.

For my money, every last one of these liberal loons are classic schizophrenics. Literally unable to distinguish between what is real and what is unreal, they have advanced the practice of self deception to an art form. One can see evidence of their untethered and unabashed ravings every day on the 3 hour news loop. Ironically, the sad reality is that many lucid thinking adults have decided to trade personal responsibility for a ticket on the gravy train by voting them into elected office. But such actions are akin to the farmer who ate his own seed, and like Milton Friedman is fond of saying, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." And boy, are we paying for the freebies now, and it will only get worse. Possibly much worse.

At any rate, it is exactly as Gut has suggested. One would have first hand knowledge a thousand years from now. And yet to me, we already see that as having come to pass, in that the world is far older than a thousand years and things are fine. In other words, we are that guy who lived a thousand years into the future, to those who walked this earth in the 11th century. And, guess what? As far as I can tell the only difference weather wise, is that on average, the world is one degree warmer, (maybe). Not exactly gloom and doom now is it? But, more to Gut's point. Do we not owe it to ourselves and those who are to come, to maintain civilization in a form that will continue to make advancements and breakthroughs that will be more to the liking of the environmentalist palate? To think otherwise, is to ignore the incredible progress of the past century in man's commitment to stewardship. And that in a nutshell, is what the liberal has chosen to do.
