Let There Be Links
As usual, I want to link to a bunch on environmentally related stuff on Monday. Holy Coast sets an interesting tone. Speaking of idiots - and then there are the bashers.
When it comes to radioactive waste, the Brits have the same problem we do - it's not technology, it's NIMBY, interestingly, unlike in the US, on Great Britain, everywhere really is someone backyard.
Why do stories like this ALWAYS start with andecdotes. There is no more wasteful industry on the planet than medicine, but recycle? - NEVER! Ah, the joys of inelastic demand. Now, if the global warming people only understood that the demand for fossil fuel is almost as inelastic.
Something is very, very wrong when in the MIDDLE OF A WAR, a story like this appears. Are there really people in the world whose priorities are that far around the bend? Or is this a way to try and push an anti-war agenda in disguise? I actually pray for the later, because otherwise, the world is in serious trouble.
OK, These guys are good. And they might be able to help with the real problem with illegal immigration.
Envionmental perspective.
When it comes to war, particularly against an ideological opponent, this is a very serious point. Terrorism itself is a strategy to fight a war when genuine war is already lost - in such a situation we cannot merely win the war, we must convince the enemy he has lost, which generally means destroying either the enemy in totality, or killing the ideology. The former is not a task for the weak-kneed and the later is almost impossible.
As one half of an involuntarily childless couple, all I have to say is that this is a sickness, a deeply selfish sickness.
"Consider it all joy..."
Environmentalists and animal activists are of a kind, and they want to take all the fun out of life.
