…to this post.
What I’ve always hated about the phrase “save the planet” is that no one ever asks “save it for what?”
If the question WERE asked, I guess the answer would be “for your children and their children”.
Well, what the %$#@ would be the point of that? Because you know good & well that the hippie children & grandchildren are just going to tell our descendants that they have to “save the planet” for two more generations.
When do we finally get the USE the damn thing?
I say NOW is as good a time as any. And if we use up one resource, we’ll just invent the technology to exploit another one.
Case in point: whale oil shortages = refined crude oil.
All we need to do is stay the hell out of our future J.D. Rockefeller‘s way so that he can make the operation profitable enough to be self-sustaining.
God bless Capitalism.
As a proud member of the Oil & Gas Industry here in Wyoming, I give out hats to some of our customers that say
“Earth First” on the front and “We’ll Drill the Other Planets Later” on the side.
Precisely!
Of course, if you bake the laying hens for dinner, you’ll have no eggs for breakfast…
What’s this? Has Harvey found religion?
Preach it brother!!!!!
Amen!!!
Amen!!!
OOPS
James – Just a figure of speech. I use it because I know the emotion it conveys to most readers, and good communication revolves around transferring what’s in YOUR head into the readers’ heads.
And I don’t use it lightly or with any disrespect. I really do mean that Capitalism is a good thing and it deserves to have good things happen to it (like not having liberals try to kneecap it with government regulations).
Which, I believe, is the generally accepted meaning of “God bless X”.
Harvey – I was just kidding. I knew you meant it as a figure of speech. 😛
Ok, sorry about the long-winded comment then 🙂
