A new level of insane

PS - Homicide is ok if the person killed is holding a weapon (a machine gun, say) that could wipe out quite a few people in a few seconds.

THAT is not homicide. That is self defence.

I see where you are going. I am more than prepared for what you propose. Are you?

And when we run out of coal?....

Given current and predicted future consumption rates, the US alone has 300 years of supply.

I am all for living in a way that is kind to nature. Really. It is the undisciplined MORONS of the type that were aquitted in the OP article that scare, no, worry me. Further, people who believe the enviroMENTAList extremist point of view are a, IMHO, direct threat to our way of life. Really.

Look at how fast the human race has advanced in the last 200 years. WHY? The energy produced by fossil fuels. The end goal of the extremist is to have us living like the 18th century. And, personally, I would have no problem with that. I can grow my own food, hunt my own food, build shelter and survive/thrive in such an environment. But what of the masses of urbanites? What of the extremists themselves? I doubt any of those people even consider that. What will they do when there is no supermarket and Starbucks?

I believe in the ability of humanity to overcome. We can figure out how to live in balance without sacrificing our way of life. We just gotta stop catering things to the lowest common denominator.
