Earth Day Perspectives

Happy Earth Day to all!

Here's the latest perspective on this by the current administration:

Quote:

---

President Trump marked Earth Day on Sunday by renewing his vow to undo "unnecessary and harmful regulations," and insisting that a "market-driven economy is essential to protecting" the environment.

Of course, Earth Day was established in the first place because a market-driven economy, unburdened by regulation, was resulting in rivers catching fire

and toxic waste dumps like Love Canal

The irony is nearly crushing.

A long haired, maggot infected, pot smoking hippy sat in a tree and took our logging and lumber away. OK does that improve earth days?

You carry a lot of anger around, Billy.

The point being China is worse - that I'll readily admit.

That's not much of an argument, though.

I think Billy retains anger less than anyone here because he releases it in a puff of humor, such as repeating some of Limbaugh's verbal trademarks knowing they will bring a mental smile to those who are familiar with his ways...:)...Ben

I would carry a load of anger towards people who devastated my livelihood too.

Damn Ben you sure have a good memory as I had forgotten where that came from. Repeat things I've heard way back from my Father remembering as I get very aged.

I was in Vegas a few years ago on Earth Day. They turned off all the lights. It was a strange to be on the dark strip..... even more strange was all the people taking pictures of the darkness.... Just put your finger over the camera on your phone at 2pm and you get the same results.

But your response being to someone who is in full Attack Mode and misses the nuances and the character of our posts but is apparently on some kind of power trip that I don't understand.

Billy simply regurgitates what he is fed.

Many more than you have said that, I don't know, that pull the party ticket and die defending it regardless, that ain't smart.
