Those who developed and created the agriculture - for those who are willingly too ignorant to realize this, the farmers of the American Midwest - that could feed the world, must have been developed by strong anti-environmentalists. Can anyone but Cliffy an SirJosephPorter fail of see the insanity of this? Yet, it was spouted by these two worthies.
And just what is insane about this? The fact that they were good farmers, does not mean that they were good environmentalists. Good farmers mean that they took care of their farmland, not their environment.
Who cries about the passenger pigeon? Who regrets that that there are no more dodo birds? Who would like Tyrannosaurus Rex in their neighbourhoods? Who would shed a tear for the disappearence of some insignificant species, if it meant cheaper groceries and healthier/more wholesome produce?
That indeed typifies the far right attitude. God told Adam to subdue the earth, not conserve it. So wanton destruction of wildlife is perfectly permissible, according to your version of the Bible. Well, we all should be concerned about extinction of the species. It is only a rabid anti-environmentalist who says that he doesn’t care if polar bears, grizzlies, elephants, rhinos etc. live or die, as long as he himself gets a comfortable life.
And then you are surprised when I say that far right is vacuously anti-environment? If what you have expressed is not a viciously anti-environment attitude, I don’t know what it is.
