And We’ve Arrived
I riffed off of Mark Steyn's latest column in The Orange County Register just yesterday. While he examined the particular level of insanity of those who refuse to breed to save the planet, I asked how long it would be until some of them went further. Steyn found on already today. No, it is not retroactive birth control yet. But it's getting close.
Here's one for Jonah's Liberal Fascism files. Bigshot eco-panjandrum lays down the law:
Hillman, senior fellow emeritus at the Policy Studies Institute, says carbon rationing is the only way to ensure that the world avoids the worst effects of climate change. And he says that the problems caused by burning fossil fuels are so serious that governments might have to implement rationing against the will of the people.
"When the chips are down I think democracy is a less important goal than is the protection of the planet from the death of life, the end of life on it," he says. "This has got to be imposed on people whether they like it or not."
That item comes from Kate at Small Dead Animals. Who also posts this gem of a video. Back in April, Naomi Wolf, crying her name as it were, explained how to get a fascist America in ten easy steps. I countered that using the example of global warming. I think I was all too right.
UPDATE: Rich Horton isn't even sure it takes ten steps.

At what point do you think we can advocate armed resistance to avowedly anti-democratic forces? Seems like we are getting nearer that point every day.
Are the folks in the UK really such sheep?

This is getting ugly, isn’t it?

I like it. Hilman removes the mask and shows the true intent. He let’s people see who they really are.
