Shut Up and Save the Earth, You Evil American!
Today is Earth Day (and Lenin’s Birthday, which I don’t see as a particular coincidence as well as the birthday of St. Francis of Assisi, which is more what I think our enviro-happy friends intended for the day) which means that we will again be harangued with lectured from our betters about what a bunch of Earth-raping fatties we all are and how we’d be much better off if we dumped the old, busted religion we have to join their cult.
Pundit and Pundette has a good roundup of Earth Day links, from both sides of the planet-hugging sphere. David Harsanyi’s column this week is also Earth Day-themed. You may also be interested in my latest post at the American Issues Project on what new energy regulations are likely to cost us. Alternately, you could take these folks’ recommendation and spay or neuter a poor foreigner.
I think we should rename this week as Untended Consequences Week, to celebrate all the effects our well-intentioned but panic-driven laws have had on our planet and our lives.
