Gang-Green and the Government Staff Infection

12/16/2014

If you attended An Evening With Bill Whittle, you were there when Glen Morgan introduced the phrase, "Gang-Green and the Government Staff Infection", much to the amusement of Bill Whittle. This is what Glen was referring to:

We all know people who call themselves "environmentalists."  Everyone wants pure water, clean air, and  access to beautiful wilderness for generations. However, there are those among us who take the normal yearning for these conditions but then preach "environmental" belief agendas with a religious fundamentalist fervor.

For these zealots, this is their religion. For these true believers, it is not enough for them to live their lives as they see fit. For them, they feel empowered and called by a higher power to dictate every detail about how everyone else should live their lives, as well.

When their fellow citizens do not subscribe to every aspect of their religious belief system, they feel perfectly justified in using government as the force to bludgeon their neighbors into submission.

This is Gang Green, and it has infected government.
If WE oppose environmental extremism, it doesn't mean WE don't like clean air, clean water, or a pristine legacy for future generations. However, it is wrong to criminalize normal human activities on behalf of zero-tolerance zealots. Humans need to live and prosper too. We have as much right to be here as any other species, which evolved here at the same time we did. Live and let live. (Read the article...)

By polluting the air, polluting the water, polluting the ground, destroying wetlands, logging our forests, hunting the animals, mining the land, spraying toxic chemicals and fertilizers, overfishing, overpopulating the world, and many more environmentally destructive activities, it does much more bad than good for the world. By doing all of this, we are killing more than we are constructing. Like the Excavator said, we are a species of this world with a full right to live here. However, part of the responsibility of being part of this wonderful and beautiful planet is living as part of nature, instead of against nature. I also don't agree with the "environmentalists" that believe that we should live as far away from the environment as possible, by living in our huge cities and "helping" the environment. There is a way to live with nature, while not against it. This is what people don't understand. In this world, the radical left lives as far away from nature as possible, and the radical right lives as far against it as possible. Both of these are unacceptable. Humans were not meant to live against or far away from the environment and the natural world.
