"Earth Day"- Draggin' Us Down!

[Sallow]

Too many wolves.

Wolves are loyal..fight to the end for their families and kill only what they need.

What could you possibly not like about that?

There are no mirrors where you live?

So I take it you're a cat person.

the wolves to watch are the 2 legged ones.

True.

But this wolf wants to save the earth.

1) You give the date of the birth of the modern environmental movement. What hippies have to do with it? I don't get it. I know alot of conservatives who recycle.
2) A world wide Pagan rite. Surely one who believes in the constitution would stand behind the principals of freedom of religion. Right?
3) Michael Crichton? Isn't he a fiction writer, who makes his living off of making shit up?
4) I'll help you out on this one. The difference between communism and environmentalism is one takes everything from you and forces you you live a certain way or they kill / imprision you (communism). The other askes you to keep the environment in mind before you throw your garbage into the woods.
5) Really? they purposely picked that date because it was Lennins birthday? You can't possibly believe that can you? I've read alot of your posts and you seem smarter than that.
6) Rights for mother earth? why not? our companies and corporations in the US have more rights than the everyday citizen.
7) Again doesn't this fall under the freedom of religion? Staunch supporters of the constitution would agree and defend the rights of others to worship as see fit.
8) I was always under the impression that here in the US we were able to vote our conscious. Am I wrong?
9) This shows us that democracy is alive and well in the US, because there is an opposite view point that is being voiced.

Vigorous debate is the definition of liberty-loving America. Not the outright silencing of those we happen to disagree with.

Earth day, May day....just another day. Unless your scared.

You have such a lack of knowledge in so many areas, one hardly knows where to begin????

"Michael Crichton? Isn't he a fiction writer, who makes his living off of making shit up?"

Were you born in this country?

On this planet?

Let me start you with this....

1. John Michael Crichton (rhymes with frighten;[2] October 23, 1942 – November 4, 2008), best known as Michael Crichton, was an American author, producer, director, and screenwriter, best known for his work in the science fiction, medical fiction, and thriller genres. His books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide, and many have been adapted into films. In 1994, Crichton became the only creative artist ever to have works simultaneously charting at #1 in television, film, and book sales (with ER, Jurassic Park, and Disclosure, respectively).[3]
Michael Crichton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is that about as far as your knowledge in this area goes?

Well, let's add this, which might fill in some of the lacunae, and explain why Crichton has cache in the OP...

2. "... enrolled at Harvard Medical School...Crichton graduated from Harvard, obtaining an M.D. in 1969,[citation needed] and undertook a post-doctoral fellowship study at the Jonas Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California, from 1969 to 1970"
Ibid.

3. In "State of Fear," a fictionalized exposition featuring eco-terrorists, he provides a great deal of information about the global warming fraud.
You might pick it up in your local library.

I was right. He is a fiction writer who makes up shit for a living. Alot of people have degree but that don't make them an expert. If he was an expert he would not be making shit up for a living. I think I would be better served by checking out a book of facts instead of fiction if I wanted to get more informed, wouldn't you agree?

"...that don't make them an expert."

And you would be the perfect example!

Psittacine species, parrots, have a brain to body ratio equal to that of chimpanzees. As such, parrots are the smartest of all birds with the cognitive capacity of a five-year-old child.

Don’t you wish that that could be said of you?

Did you read the book?

I doubt youi could dispute the graphs and data provided, as they came from government sources, including NASA.

It is more than passing interesting that Crichton created a villain who hid behind the bogus global warming scam to make a fortune, and, wouldn't you know it, along came Al Gore!

A prophet in search of profits.

You talk about clueless???

President Obama is out there on the campaign trail today talking about "alternative energy" Should anything surprise us anymore in terms of what comes out of this guys mouth??

Here we have zero corn production going on due to drought and this guy is talking ethanol.

I paid $4.45 a gallon today..........to fill up my tank was over $50. Think this asshole would consider being a leader and talking about a Manhattan like project on drilling? Would have immediate surge of lower prices on oil..........overnight. But it wont happpen.........the fcukking k00ks would go ballistic!!!


Earth Day!!! Laugh my balls off.............if Earth Day is on top of your concern list on this day, you need beer and a plan.

Hey Kooky, I hope you get to pay $75 next time.

Alternative energy? 84% of the electricity used in Idaho is now produced by alternative, non-CO2 producing technologies.

Not only that, a 1972 210 Datsun would shut down your lead sled of a Stang.

Well, PC, you see there are some of us that do not like the idea of having rivers that burn. Or smell and look like a septic lagoon. There are some of us that would like to breath clean air, even if it means we have to pay a bit more for some products.

But there are all too many, like yourself, that only see the dollar. And care zero about what we leave to our children. People who elevate a cardinal sin, greed, as a virtue. People that are completely amoral when it comes to what the effects of what they do are on other human beings.

And if we have to hark back to all of our pagan origins, (after all, we were pagans much longer than we have been otherwise), so be it. I would rather live in a pagan world that included a whole Earth with all of its creatures intact, than a filthy sewage and garbage strewn conctrete jungle that you seem to prefer.

Exposed WHAT? On all fours too?

You on the Left actually fail to credit the advances civilization has made since we left anamism, paganism, behind.

Paganism is survival of the fittest, the strongest, the most violent.

Religion is based on morality, and, all men are created equal is based on the biblical statement that we are all created in the image of God.


I've explain this to you…now see if you can understand this….for the same reason I believe the freezer deserves a light as well as the refrigerator.... to dispel darkness.

Hard to believe, but this nonsense is ‘celebrating’ its 41st birthday. Those of us with any sense have largely ignored it because we mistakenly believed that only children would take it seriously…we didn’t believe that any sentient adult would!

But….good intentions are a powerful driver, and the Left buys this stuff like it was on sale!

1. Each year, Earth Day -- April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Earth Day: The History of A Movement | Earth Day Network

2. We are about to witness a worldwide pagan rite – the worship of the earth, the worship of Gaia, (Earth Mother). Earth Day is the worship of nature — rather than Nature’s God.

Though touted as, somehow, NEW, worship of the earth is likely the oldest religion on earth. Born of child-like ignorance, it has survived centuries and is, once again, robust and thriving among those people of earth who have lost their way and have reclaimed this form of paganism …” Earth Day, The High Holy Day of Paganism | The Silent Majority Earth Day, The High Holy Day of Paganism | The Silent Majority

3. Michael Crichton, in his “Environmentalism as Religion” remarks, made before the Commonwealth Club, in San Francisco in 2003, summed it all up.
“The believers in environmentalism believe and preach that we should live in unity with nature, or the environment. They believe that in the beginning we did. They believe that we are now living in sin because we have polluted the earth. We will be visited with a judgment day and the judgment will be death, for the whole planet, unless we repent, (which means to turn around and go the other way) and make our way back to sustainability. You see, in the environmentalism religion, sustainability IS salvation.”” … Michael Crichton

4. On the excellent webcast Uncommon Knowledge, Czech president Václav Klaus recently compared “two ideologies” that were “structurally very similar. They are against individual freedom. They are in favor of centralistic masterminding of our fates. They are both very similar in telling us what to do, how to live, how to behave, what to eat, how to travel, what we can do and what we cannot do.” The first of Klaus’s “two ideologies” was Communism—a system with which he was deeply familiar, having participated in the Velvet Revolution in 1989. The second was environmentalism.
The Varieties of Liberal Enthusiasm by Benjamin A. Plotinsky, City Journal Spring 2010

5. It is no accident that April 22, Earth Day, is also the birth date of Vladimir Lenin, an acolyte of Karl Marx, the lunatic who invented communism as an alternative to capitalism. Earth Day is naked communism. To begin, it substitutes a worship of the Earth, Gaia, for the worship of God, creator of the universe and the instructor of moral behavior for mankind. The Earth does not demand a moral code of personal behavior. While America was established to ensure “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, environmentalism exists to exert more and more control over our lives by limiting our choices, our liberty.

6. UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving “Mother Earth” the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to “dominate and exploit” — to the point that the “well-being and existence of many beings” is now threatened…. It also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth, and provides the planet with an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state.UN document would give 'Mother Earth' same rights as humans

7. “In our contemporary era, Earth Day has become the modern celebration of Gaia. Partakers of this event, whether aware of it or not, play off the ancient pagan beliefs of a Universal Mother. Like the sacred oaths taken in her name, today’s Earth Day celebrants sign environmental petitions, make pledges, and announce resolutions in support of Mother Earth. And like the old sacrifices to the deity, today’s Earth Day practitioners offer sacrifices of “good works” to the planet. Not only is the Earth a deity to be venerated, but the Earth itself – as the representative and embodiment of the Goddess – has become a modern day idol.” All For Gaia: Earth Day and Total Transformation for a Post-Christian World « Forcing Change

8. And our liberal friends actually voted for folks who represent this kind of ‘thinking’:

a. Obama selected regulatory czar Cass Sunstein has suggested that animals have the right to lawyers, and advocated that animals have the right to sue humans in court: “Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives …”
- 2004 book Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions

b. Obama choice for Science Czar John Holdren sees people as no different form any other species, and has endorsed compulsory sterilization, as in ‘controlling the herd.” Obama's science czar suggested compulsory abortion, sterilization | Washington Examiner

c. [Obama advisor Philip] Singer once explained his belief that, "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living." Obama czar pick: 'Raving animal rights nut'

9. But folks are waking up! While Gallup regularly found that Americans favor environmentalism by a two-to-one ration, "A Gallup poll released last week found that Americans are prioritizing economic growth over the environment by the widest margin in nearly three decades."
Life Inc. - Americans say save the economy, not the planet

Speaking of maniacs, the master of ceremonies of the first "earth day" in Philidelphia in 1970 was living up to the standards of the environmental wacko movement. Ira Einhorn was composting his former girlfriend in a trunk in his closet while he was welcoming fellow nuts to the celebration.

Balance is a good thing. In the bible there are many cases and parables that show and teach saving and preperation for the future. The bible, not my book but yours, but still containing great wisdom.

And really, does it just grind on you every time you do recycle? Everytime you told your kids to turn the water off because they shouldn't waste it did you silently cuss out the environmentalists? For the extra few minutes a day it takes, is it that crushing for you? How do you not mind a corporation making huge profits destroying our planet, but instead hate and loath someone making a profit trying to keep our planet clean and there for the next guy? You are a staunch supporter of capitalism, how can you be against someone making a buck?

Don't you know by now that recycling is just one more 'feel good' fraud?

And paper doesn't decompose any faster in a landfill than plastic? Compaction prevents both reactions....



1. "THE IDEA of recycling plastic is so seductive that even many well-meaning environmentalists can't resist it. But plastic recycling is a fantasy, a fraud, a scam perpetrated by the plastics industry to keep people buying their disposable products. The city of Oakland has already been complicit in this conspiracy by collecting plastic containers in its recycling program. Now, in an otherwise laudable new city purchasing policy presented by Councilmember Sheila Jordan to the council's Finance Committee on Dec. 7, Oakland may expand its participation in the hoax by adding plastic products to the list of recycled goods it would emphasize buying."People want to do the tight thing, so the way for the industry to get them to use plastic containers instead of metal or glass is to convince them it's recyclable," Pickett said.
Unchallenged, the propaganda is working. Go to your local store and try to find a glass soda bottle today."http://www.ecologycenter.org/iptf/recycling/plasticseduction.html

2. "Sometimes, even banana peels don't decompose once they reach the landfill. For sanitary reasons, modern landfills are lined on the bottom with clay and plastic to keep waste from escaping into the soil and are covered daily with a layer of earth to reduce odor. The landfill, then, acts like a trash tomb—the garbage within receives little air, water, or sunlight. This means that even readily degradable waste objects, including paper and food scraps, are more likely to mummify than decompose."
Do plastic bags really take 500 years to break down in a landfill? - By Juliet Lapidos - Slate Magazine

3. . Ask yourself about the utility of recycling. Glass is made from sand. The Earth is not running out of sand. Newspapers, when buried, stay intact for decades and, when burned, become mere ashes. Recycling plastic requires as much or more energy than to produce it. Its uses, however, are extraordinary, contributing to a healthier lifestyle for everyone. So, why recycle?

In 1998, it cost Americans $36 billion to get rid of 210 million tons of municipal waste. It probably costs more today. Part of that multi-billion cost is the additional element of recycling requirements. It´s not like you have a choice. New York City publishes a brochure on recycling that says bluntly "It´s the law."

There is no question that Americans produce a lot of garbage. In the past we buried or burned it, but that was before the environmentalists, Greens, began a campaign that would have us believe there was no room left for landfills, that landfills were inherently a "hazard", and that incinerators were no better because of what came out of the smokestack. All of a sudden, it became very costly to get rid of the garbage where, before, it was no big deal.

This is something to think about every time you separate your glass and plastic or bundle your newspapers, You may feel you are doing something noble for the environment, but you are paying more for that privilege and the odds are the stuff is being buried and burned just the same. The market for anything recycled often proves unprofitable because the cost of recycling does not justify itself.

One scholar, A. Clark Wiseman of Spokane´s Gonzaga University, calculated that, at the current rate of solid waste generation, the nation´s entire solid waste for the next 1,000 years could be buried in a single landfill 100 yards high and 35 miles square. We are not running out of land for landfills. We have run into the lie that they are unsafe. The truth is that landfills have been routinely converted into valuable property once filled. In California there are a number of golf courses that were former landfills. In New Jersey, there are malls and corporate campuses.

In July of last year, New York City suspended the collection of plastic and beverage cartons for a year and the collection of glass for two years. Said the Mayor, "This temporary suspension will save the City an estimated $40 million." Now do the math. If New York can save $40 million by not requiring recycling, imagine the billions that could be saved by cities and suburbs coast to coast? You could renovate every school in America with those funds.
The Utter Waste Of Recycling


4. "did you silently cuss out the environmentalists??
Haven't you noticed yet that I don't 'cuss out' anyone?
I may laugh, though.

Ditto "hate and loath".

5. "...You are a staunch supporter of capitalism..."
Now, sit down when I tell you this....the folks who are manipulating the good natured followers, like you....are capitalists, and are using you. They pay $1,000-$3,000 a ton for the plastics that you obligingly return via 'recycling' programs.
And, have you noticed, it's not necessary to gin up a telethon for Al Gore....

Now, in an otherwise laudable new city purchasing policy presented by Councilmember Sheila Jordan to the council's Finance Committee on Dec. 7, Oakland may expand its participation in the hoax by adding plastic products to the list of recycled goods it would emphasize buying."People want to do the tight thing, so the way for the industry to get them to use plastic containers instead of metal or glass is to convince them it's recyclable," Pickett said.
Unchallenged, the propaganda is working. Go to your local store and try to find a glass soda bottle today."http://www.ecologycenter.org/iptf/recycling/plasticseduction.html

2. "Sometimes, even banana peels don't decompose once they reach the landfill. For sanitary reasons, modern landfills are lined on the bottom with clay and plastic to keep waste from escaping into the soil and are covered daily with a layer of earth to reduce odor. The landfill, then, acts like a trash tomb—the garbage within receives little air, water, or sunlight. This means that even readily degradable waste objects, including paper and food scraps, are more likely to mummify than decompose."

3. . Ask yourself about the utility of recycling. Glass is made from sand. The Earth is not running out of sand. Newspapers, when buried, stay intact for decades and, when burned, become mere ashes. Recycling plastic requires as much or more energy than to produce it. Its uses, however, are extraordinary, contributing to a healthier lifestyle for everyone. So, why recycle?

In 1998, it cost Americans $36 billion to get rid of 210 million tons of municipal waste. It probably costs more today. Part of that multi-billion cost is the additional element of recycling requirements. It´s not like you have a choice. New York City publishes a brochure on recycling that says bluntly "It´s the law."

There is no question that Americans produce a lot of garbage. In the past we buried or burned it, but that was before the environmentalists, Greens, began a campaign that would have us believe there was no room left for landfills, that landfills were inherently a "hazard", and that incinerators were no better because of what came out of the smokestack. All of a sudden, it became very costly to get rid of the garbage where, before, it was no big deal.

This is something to think about every time you separate your glass and plastic or bundle your newspapers, You may feel you are doing something noble for the environment, but you are paying more for that privilege and the odds are the stuff is being buried and burned just the same. The market for anything recycled often proves unprofitable because the cost of recycling does not justify itself.

One scholar, A. Clark Wiseman of Spokane´s Gonzaga University, calculated that, at the current rate of solid waste generation, the nation´s entire solid waste for the next 1,000 years could be buried in a single landfill 100 yards high and 35 miles square. We are not running out of land for landfills. We have run into the lie that they are unsafe. The truth is that landfills have been routinely converted into valuable property once filled. In California there are a number of golf courses that were former landfills. In New Jersey, there are malls and corporate campuses.

In July of last year, New York City suspended the collection of plastic and beverage cartons for a year and the collection of glass for two years. Said the Mayor, "This temporary suspension will save the City an estimated $40 million." Now do the math. If New York can save $40 million by not requiring recycling, imagine the billions that could be saved by cities and suburbs coast to coast? You could renovate every school in America with those funds.
The Utter Waste Of Recycling


4. "did you silently cuss out the environmentalists??
Haven't you noticed yet that I don't 'cuss out' anyone?
I may laugh, though.

Ditto "hate and loath".

5. "...You are a staunch supporter of capitalism..."
Now, sit down when I tell you this....the folks who are manipulating the good natured followers, like you....are capitalists, and are using you. They pay $1,000-$3,000 a ton for the plastics that you obligingly return via 'recycling' programs.
And, have you noticed, it's not necessary to gin up a telethon for Al Gore....

6. Didn't East Anglia teach you anything? Look at it this way: are you sure you want to be on the same side as Old Rocks???

Catching on?

*"Cussing out" was a figure of speech
*I don't want to be on anyones 'side', as I prefer to be a free thinker and my opinions tend to put me on both sides depending on the issue.
*As for this issue, I agree to disagree with you.
*You made some strong arguements, and some that I couldn't overcome, like #5 on capitalists manipulating good natured followers. How you can see that about recycling and not see it in other capitalists makes me wonder.
*thank you for an enlightening debate

Hard to believe, but this nonsense is ‘celebrating’ its 41st birthday. Those of us with any sense have largely ignored it because we mistakenly believed that only children would take it seriously…we didn’t believe that any sentient adult would!

But….good intentions are a powerful driver, and the Left buys this stuff like it was on sale!

1. Each year, Earth Day -- April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.

2. We are about to witness a worldwide pagan rite – the worship of the earth, the worship of Gaia, (Earth Mother). Earth Day is the worship of nature — rather than Nature’s God.

Though touted as, somehow, NEW, worship of the earth is likely the oldest religion on earth. Born of child-like ignorance, it has survived centuries and is, once again, robust and thriving among those people of earth who have lost their way and have reclaimed this form of paganism …” Earth Day, The High Holy Day of Paganism | The Silent Majority Earth Day, The High Holy Day of Paganism | The Silent Majority

3. Michael Crichton, in his “Environmentalism as Religion” remarks, made before the Commonwealth Club, in San Francisco in 2003, summed it all up.
“The believers in environmentalism believe and preach that we should live in unity with nature, or the environment. They believe that in the beginning we did. They believe that we are now living in sin because we have polluted the earth. We will be visited with a judgment day and the judgment will be death, for the whole planet, unless we repent, (which means to turn around and go the other way) and make our way back to sustainability. You see, in the environmentalism religion, sustainability IS salvation.”” … Michael Crichton

4. On the excellent webcast Uncommon Knowledge, Czech president Václav Klaus recently compared “two ideologies” that were “structurally very similar. They are against individual freedom. They are in favor of centralistic masterminding of our fates. They are both very similar in telling us what to do, how to live, how to behave, what to eat, how to travel, what we can do and what we cannot do.” The first of Klaus’s “two ideologies” was Communism—a system with which he was deeply familiar, having participated in the Velvet Revolution in 1989. The second was environmentalism.

5. It is no accident that April 22, Earth Day, is also the birth date of Vladimir Lenin, an acolyte of Karl Marx, the lunatic who invented communism as an alternative to capitalism. Earth Day is naked communism. To begin, it substitutes a worship of the Earth, Gaia, for the worship of God, creator of the universe and the instructor of moral behavior for mankind. The Earth does not demand a moral code of personal behavior. While America was established to ensure “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, environmentalism exists to exert more and more control over our lives by limiting our choices, our liberty.

6. UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving “Mother Earth” the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to “dominate and exploit” — to the point that the “well-being and existence of many beings” is now threatened…. It also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth, and provides the planet with an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state.UN document would give 'Mother Earth' same rights as humans

7. “In our contemporary era, Earth Day has become the modern celebration of Gaia. Partakers of this event, whether aware of it or not, play off the ancient pagan beliefs of a Universal Mother. Like the sacred oaths taken in her name, today’s Earth Day celebrants sign environmental petitions, make pledges, and announce resolutions in support of Mother Earth. And like the old sacrifices to the deity, today’s Earth Day practitioners offer sacrifices of “good works” to the planet. Not only is the Earth a deity to be venerated, but the Earth itself – as the representative and embodiment of the Goddess – has become a modern day idol.” All For Gaia: Earth Day and Total Transformation for a Post-Christian World « Forcing Change

8. And our liberal friends actually voted for folks who represent this kind of ‘thinking’:

a. Obama selected regulatory czar Cass Sunstein has suggested that animals have the right to lawyers, and advocated that animals have the right to sue humans in court: “Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives …”

c. [Obama advisor Philip] Singer once explained his belief that, "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living." Obama czar pick: 'Raving animal rights nut'

9. But folks are waking up! While Gallup regularly found that Americans favor environmentalism by a two-to-one ration, "A Gallup poll released last week found that Americans are prioritizing economic growth over the environment by the widest margin in nearly three decades."
Life Inc. - Americans say save the economy, not the planet

Earth Day, May Day....environmentalism, totalitarianim...

Neither belongs in a liberty-loving America!

Let's add this to the mix, shall we?

U.N. Prepares to Debate Whether 'Mother Earth' Deserves Human Rights Status<Fox News April 18

United Nations diplomats on Wednesday will set aside pressing issues of international peace and security to devote an entire day debating the rights of “Mother Earth.”

A bloc of mostly socialist governments lead by Bolivia have put the issue on the General Assembly agenda to discuss the creation of a U.N. treaty that would grant the same rights found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Mother Nature.
