Greenist Nonsense

Fighting Over the Water Bottle

We have long suspected that whenever a Greenie's skin is scratched, underneath one finds a luddite.  Greenists have a hatred of economic development and the useful exploitation of earth's rich resources.  Moreover, most Greenists are wedded to the neo-platonic idea that the real is the non-tangible, the ethereal, the realm of the Idea.  

In a word, Greenists are fundamentally uncomfortable with human beings and sentient animal life.  Take humans.  They drink pure clean water, and express it as toxic polluted water, urine.  They eat natural greens and express them as toxic malodorous waste.

Starting with this cluster of misanthropic ideas, the Greenists have very little to contribute to political discourse or social organisation that is helpful and positive.  Moreover add to this mess of pottage a hatred of other people's property and wealth, along with a deep loyalty to Marxist ideologies, and one reluctantly concludes that there is little positive contribution a Greenist can make to the body politic.  As one cynic observed, Greenists are so anti-human the best they could make to society would be to live out their ideology in a consistent way by breathing their last.  On their own terms they could "help save the planet" by suicide.

The latest brouhaha is over bottled water.  Actually, it's not a brouhaha over bottled water: its anger at some people making a profit out of selling water.

Two Parents, Radically Unalike

The word misanthrope used to refer to someone who hated the human race.  Under the delicate touch of feminist ideology the term has morphed into a sexist perspective, referring to someone who hates males.  Dana at Patterico describes the case of one who is truly--and literally--misanthropic.

The answer to the question “What makes a good man?” depends on who you are asking. For one ardent feminist named Lana, her answer would unarguably be that to suggest a man could be good is itself a contradiction in terms and thus, the question is moot. Never the terms shall meet. Because of her misandry, Lana refused to allow her baby boy entry into the world where he would have had the opportunity to prove his mother wrong:
