This is something I find mind boggling. Not your view, I also share similar views when it comes to ecosystems aka complex things that enables us to you know, live.
But this division of left and right when it comes to something like this. It's truly a mind fuxo0r.
Maybe the scale of it is too big and we're missing the trees for the forest.
But let's just say for giggle sake, pollution is the equivalent of someone(s) pissing in the beer and cold cuts cooler during a camping trip.
The first thing I'm gonna ask is not whether or not someone is a leftist or a rightist, or how their political compass swings on the matter.
Someone(s) whether in a fit of moronicity or possibly drunk (on stupidity) has just fuxx00red our food supply. AND THE BEER!!
Maybe they were too drunk at the time, or it was too dark and they really had to go. Maybe someone paid them 20$ to do it as a dare. (Can't be anti-jobs and profits now can't we?)
Now I'm sure some wiseinheimer will say easy, let's just go to the campstore or town. We have to resupply anyway, the smokes and the ice for the beer cooler is running low.
The problem is we just needlessly wasted those food and beer ($), the campstore charges and an arm and a leg, and the town is on holiday hours.
The 'Conservatives' seems to not know what conservation is, and seems to be too focused on whether or not those 2 squirrels are homersexuals and living in sin. The 'Liberals' seems to have major problems in coming up with a coherent shopping list, and readily feints or foams in the mouth if they see a bird eating a worm. ('That's hate crime, hate crime!')
What I'm saying is the planet currently does not even have the option of going to the town for groceries. This is it for now. There is no 7-11 on the Ye Olde Lunar Greenhouse and Mining Colony.
There is no payphone or cellphone reception to call for re-supply. (Maybe the ETs sees our calls the same way we see telemarketing robocalls.) There is no midweek check or emergency pickup. This is it. We're all stuck at camp Granada.
Bickering on how someone's political compass swings does nothing IMO, -nothing- to address the problem of our cooler of food and BEER being majorly pfhaah-ked.
Bah, I'm not ranting on you or anyone here. I'm just pissed off at humans in general, maybe I should go camping. And buy a lock for my beer cooler.
