To you. Try another shot (or quart) of your namesake. I hear there's courage in the bottom of the bottle, kinda like the prize in a box of CrackerJack.
Oh yes T-bonesforbrains BRAVELY OFFERS his usual brand of IRRELEVANT and NOT insightful banter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating that the values and judgements of the infamous Swedish Troll Greta might be a LITTLE BIT OFF!! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Greta Thunberg’s mother reveals teenager’s troubled childhood
By James Tapper, From The Guardian
Published February 22, 2020.
Greta Thunberg’s extraordinary transformation from a near-mute 11-year-old into the world’s most powerful voice on the climate crisis is revealed today by her mother.
In an emotional account, Malena Ernman describes how her daughter came to be diagnosed with autism, and how activism helped her overcome an eating disorder.
Ernman writes of the first indications that her elder daughter was unwell in extracts published today in the Observer from Our House is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis, a book by the whole Thunberg family.
“She was slowly disappearing into some kind of darkness,” Ernman says. “She stopped playing the piano. She stopped laughing. She stopped talking. And she stopped eating.”

Ernman, a celebrated Swedish opera singer, and her husband Svante Thunberg, an actor, struggled to deal with their daughter’s silence and refusal to eat anything except tiny amounts of rice, avocado and gnocchi.
She lost 10kg in two months and was on the verge of being admitted to hospital before turning a corner. Yet when Thunberg returned to school, her father realised she was being bullied. “The school isn’t sympathetic,” Ernman writes. “Their understanding of the situation is different. It’s Greta’s own fault, the school thinks.”
(Ah - Cdn parents can take comfort knowing that Swedish teachers are no more effective at dealing with bullying than their Cdn counterparts!! And isnt it nice to know that mentally ill Swedes get the same NON intervention by school authorities or health care workers as Cdns do!! In either Sweden or Canada - if you are crazy - you are ON YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
After recovering some weight, Thunberg was assessed by psychiatrists and diagnosed with “high-functioning” autism, which Ernman describes as Asperger’s, as well as obsessive compulsive disorder.
She went on to become attuned to the climate crisis, with the pivotal moment coming during a film shown in class about rubbish in the oceans, “an island of plastic” in the south Pacific. But after the lesson, while Thunberg was gripped with concern, other pupils enthused about a teacher’s trip to New York and flights to Thailand and Vietnam.
(So she has a “compulsive disorder” and compulsively turned on western society because of the amount of trash being DUMPED IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC BY ASIAN COUNTRIES - most of whom view a land fill as a costly and not really needed govt EXTRA!! And of course there is a VALID QUESTION of how much crap is thrown in the ocean by fishing boat crews - where space is RESERVED FOR FISH and NOT for storing garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“Greta can’t reconcile any of this with any of what she has just seen,” her mother writes. “She saw what the rest of us did not want to see. It was as if she could see our CO2 emissions with her naked eye.”
(CO2 emissions are NOT the same thing as plastic dumped at sea by POOR PEOPLE who have no other place for it - there is a FLAW IN THE SWEDISH LOGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In the summer of 2018, Thunberg began her first school strike, taking a homemade placard to stand outside the Swedish prime minister’s office.
When she was joined by other activists, her father tried to persuade her to go home, aware of the emotional toll it was taking on her. But she refused and the time with other people had an unexpected effect on her.
On the third day, a Greenpeace activist offered Greta some vegan Thai noodles. “She takes a little bite. And another. No one reacts to what’s happening. Why would they? … Greta keeps eating. Not just a few bites but almost the whole serving.”
(GOSH!! It is a MIRACLE CURE!! The crazed high school drop out is EATING AGAIN!!!!!!!)
Thunberg is expected to come to the UK this week to take part in a youth protest in Bristol.
(Uh huh -and should we guess that the powerful corporate interests that are sponsoring Grumpy Greta for their own VERY SELFISH INTERESTS might have chosen her because they HOPE she will not be so easy to MOCK - by virtue of her mental illness?? It is politically INCORRECT to mock the mentally challenged!! Thus anybody who scorns her ill conceived message must first wear the TOTALLY DECEITFUL LIE-beral awarded badge for “picking on the mentally challenged”!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )
(ALWAYS DISHONEST LIE-berals are hoping that being mentally challenged WILL PROTECT Greta FROM SOME PUBLIC CRITICISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Her presence at the Bristol Youth Strike 4 Climate on Friday has been welcomed with delight by the organisers. “We are all just so excited – everyone is so excited about the thought of hearing her talk,” said Milly Sibson, who, like Thunberg, is 17. “I would love the chance to meet her because she is the founder of this movement and she is so important to it – she is an idol even though she is younger than me.”
(And should we ASK HOW Grumpy Greta is going to get to Bristol???????????)
(I guess Greta will be travelling by OIL FUELED FERRY BOAT from Sweden across the North SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(In other news - would it not be INTERESTING if Grumpy Greta could explain how her habit of raging at users of fossil fuel for running trucks and trains that we need to distribute food and consumer goods - as the Cdn native rail blockade has PROVED - could possibly keep plastic from piling up in our oceans - courtesy of illegal dumping????????????)
(And in other news - wouldnt it be fun to hear Greta explain how the despised LIE-beral carbon tax SCAM - that only clans cash from wallets and leaves the dirt in the air- will actually HELP ANYBODY?? Other than GREEDY LIE-berals and their HOG ALLIES - who expect to get great heaping helpings of NEW GRAVY while extolling the DUBIOUS VIRTUE of driving us all into BANKRUPTCY!!!!)
