Green Is the Color of Their Daddies' Money
We on the independent Internet media have to start thinking completely out of the box those with the power to do so put us in. What the dominant media call "pollution" is actually, up to a certain extent we are far from reaching, antiseptic. Before the Industrial Revolution, mankind suffered from plague after plague, including one that killed off half the people of Europe. Get rid of hydrocarbons and that will come back to haunt us.
Natural "clean" air is saturated with toxic bacteria and viruses, which pollution is far more dangerous to than it is to us. It is the difference between driving on a rough gravel road and a well-paved pretty one that has psychos on the sidewalks throwing heavy rocks at us.
The motivation of the Eco-freak Trustfundie Treehuggers is the realization that uninhibited development of nature creates class mobility, which is the story of America in a nutshell. It also destroys "heiristocracy," the nobility with no ability.
