I used to be a right winger, and I know Milton Friedman said there was a case for the government to take action to protect the environment, but I guess Milton Friedman is too moderate for those in power now.
Anyway, it looks to me like the beast that is Capitalism is about to finish up Morsel Earth. It's ****ing sad.
It's the same thing that happened in the dark ages. Things were progressing at an incredible clip, the Christians came in and put the fear of God into everyone, and rolled back progress so far it took almost 1000 years to recover.
The same ****ing thing is on our doorstep.
