Happy Earth Day: Eat A Cow, Save The Environment

Every year a remnant of the hippie movement, Earth Day, is celebrated across the world. Earth Day is as antiquated as the word hippie, and just as stupid. The only thing I am thankful about this year is the fact that Earth Day 2009 occurs during school vacation; which means my son’s school will not have the opportunity to parade the kids out of the classroom and turn them into Little Green Warriors, wunder-kids for a dogma that got its start promoting zero-population growth, and serves now to indoctrinate a new generation in a fallacy.

I remember the first Earth Day, and fortunately, I had older teachers who didn’t drop acid, listen to Vanilla Fudge, or felt the need to “fight the power.” No, as the first Earth Day approached, we did radical things like studying math, history (real history, not the revisionist history my son has to poke holes in everyday), and science (I mean real science, not the propaganda surrounding Earth Day celebrations). Those were the days!

For those of you that are shouting – “You don’t you care about the environment!” I do care about the environment, but I will not succumb to a false canon that is pushing bogus solutions to phony issues. The real “flat Earthers” are those that have moved from one fad cause to the next fad cause. The common theme in all of these causes is “its mankind’s fault!” I am not saying that we have always been good stewards of our planet, but we do not solve problems by laying false blame, based on false science, with the belief that “the ends justify the means.” When a cause lacks integrity, it only sidetracks attention from the real issues, which deflects where the real focus should be, and diverts needed resources (people, money, ideas) in the wrong direction.

The current green movement’s roots are planted in the soil of the zero-growth movement (the true focus of the first Earth Day) of the 60’s, then moved to the “next Ice Age” faction of the 70’s, to the Ozone Hole gang of the 80’s, to the Global Warming interest group of the 90’s, to its current incarnation as Climate Change soldiers. Their momentum loses steam once people start to take a hard look at the “evidence.” But that doesn’t bother them, they just “rebrand” the cause and move their army with them.
