The Price of Bread, Part II - What Can We Do About Gas Prices?
What does Al
Gore have to do with the price of a loaf of bread?
Here's a thought for review: the way people look
at life determines the way they act.
Said with a graduate degree-ideas have consequences. Or with a bit more street
smarts-people act out of their worldview. Bad theology creates bad public policy
and bad public policy gets real people, really hurt.
For a generation, Americans have been fed on the
Gospel of environmentalism.
We have been made to feel guilty for being consumers, for having children, even
for being human. We have been accused of destroying the planet by our very
existence and commanded to change our ways and honor Mother Nature.
And at all costs, we have been told to stop
drilling for oil, building nuclear energy plants, gasoline refineries, and coal
burning plants. Instead, we are to worship our Mother by building new
technologies like windmills.
The media has joined and loved the mantra, and
the politicians have followed. So our sources of energy have stayed buried in
the ground, locked down by a political worldview.
Now oil and energy prices are spiraling out of
control. China and the rest of the world are dominating energy use. America is
standing on the sidelines consumed in a cosmic guilt trip.
People
around the world are starving to death because of food shortages. Americans
are facing staggering price climbs that are radically dissolving our economy and
soon our health and well-being.
And the environmentalists are singing hymns of
praise to Mother Earth.
So here is a final question - Does radical
environmentalism contain deep within its core, possess hatred, even a death wish
for humanity?
It's something to think about.
