I was pointing out that there are people in the green movement, who are also in my government, who think like tyrant dictators.
Please explain how Holdren is the leader of the environmental movement.
Holdren advises the President of the United Sates on matters of science and technology, including science and technology as it relates to environmental issues, a central concern of the obama administration. He has the presidents ear and he is an environmentalist. Because of his elite roll in the government he is an elite leader of the green movement. It is not the activists in the green movement that worry me, it is the pollicy makers.
QuoteMy main point was that, in the interest of environmentalism via population control, horrible crimes are being committed today in china and other places.
Or maybe China just has a serious overpopulation problem? Not exactly a big secret. But I see no evidence for China's Central Committee jumping up after reading Holdren's book in the Seventies and shouting "Eureka!"
I did not mean to suggest a correlation, only a similarity. "maybe China just has a serious overpopulation problem?", Yeah, and maybe we should just kill people to solve the problem. Thats my point.
QuoteIt's called an hypothetical situation, which most people over the age of twelve understand to be purely hypothetical. A bit like an hypothetical nuclear war, but in your world it would appear that those hypothetically discussing the subject are actually after the launch codes and all for pressing the button.
If when my Son comes home at 12, and proposes a hypothetical situation, where for some reason he needs to kill people as a solution to a problem, I will seek the help of psychiatrist. Nucular war is not hypothetical, it is a real danger. Our preparations for nuclear conflict are not hypothetical, they are real and stand ready. God forbid.
I restate: I do not want people making policy who think like the people you are defending, who imagine as an intellectual exercise, how murder and tyranny may solve a problem. Holdren only recanted after being pressed too, after the story broke possibly by Hannity or some one else on the right. I do not trust the right any more than the left by the way.
