Ecology, Earth Day of another time,Air Force One is a luxury beyond our means

I had gone to a Hudson River Revival, I had volunteered, and I worked helping them prepare food for the masses of attendees. I was free labor for Pete Seeger's version of Earth Day. We believed in ecology, solar power, wind power and were against Nuclear Energy; we were for rights for women, against the Jim Crow in the South, and we were incredibly self righteous about our beliefs. Well, now, the same people are on a crusade against global warming. They are still for peace, but the reality is peace is really a euphimism for that other nations can attack the United States or Israel, and if we respond in any way, that is not peace. By the way, global warming has officially taken the place of dealing with water or air polution. You can purchase Green Credits, this means you are allowed to pollute as long as you pay someone else not to. You do not have to care about your own behavior, you can pay someone else to care. Aparthied now, means the way Israel applies its laws. Countries which are 95-99% Moslem, who castrate their women, who put to death believers who are not of their faith, are the great immancipators of our age. I remember listening to some person at that particular revival, ranting how John Denver was a sell out. I knew, I would not be coming to many more of those again, and I certainly was not going to volunteer again. John Denver was a sell out, because he was a loyal American who believed in ecology. I spoke to some folks that were trying to sell wind mills and solar power, I told them the key to getting Americans to buy into that stuff, was it had to be cheaper than the way they were getting their energy. The way alternative energy could work is if you gave it away before you sold it. You could only do that with a system that was decentralized. Government energy systems leant themselves to nuclear energy, centralized giant systems of distribution. Solar and wind are decentralized, the only way for these to find their way to the public was through small venture capitalists who would give people a cheaper alternative to the centralized system. The folks at this Hudson River Revival, who I talked to, shook their heads, but I knew, they were the sort who complain about stuff, and fix nothing. Kind of like the Obama administration, throw money at a problem, but never roll up your sleeves to fix it. Kind of like Al Gore and his private jet, complain about Global Warming, and personally take no responsibility. The mantra of liberals is let the government fix it. Pay the government to fix it, higher taxes means the government will fix it, you are absolved of your guilt. Well, that is not how we clean up the enviornment, while we can pay the government to do it, we must take personal responsibility as well. If you are flying around in a corporate jet, you are killing the enviornment. Mr. President, if you really cared about global warming, you would give up your Air Force 1, it is a luxury, and beyond our means. Along with Congress giving up their special medical care, I call on the president, in the interest of Global warming and ecology, to give up his private jet.
