In today's society where up is down,
right is wrong, man is woman and woman is man, the biggest lie of all is
that the folks who live in huge, crowded cities with polluted air and
constant noise are the environmentalists and you who live under clear
skies and the only noise is created by a cow, a cricket, or a coyote are
somehow evil defilers of the environment. What has the world come to
when all you have to do to be green is write a check once a year to the
Sierra Club, fret about the ozone layer and have a bumper sticker on
your car that says, "Bring back the bison, sing back the swan?"
We've
turned into a nation of know-it-alls who live in multi-story concrete
condominiums who consider themselves experts on the environment because
they drive a Prius, probably powered by a battery that derives its
energy from a coal fired power plant. When it comes to understanding
nature we find ourselves surrounded by greedy lawyers, small minds who
live in big houses, pseudo-scientists and idiotic talk show hosts who
think they are the salvation of mother earth. I think they are missing a
few raisins in their trail mix, if you know what I mean? Their smart
phones are more intelligent than they are.
Why
is Leonardo De Caprio considered an environmentalist when his jet spews
more noxious fumes into the air on one coast to coast trip from
Hollywood to New York than a rancher does on his horse in his or her
lifetime? Why are the folks who leave tons of trash behind after
celebrating Earth Day considered green but not the country folks who
stayed home to tend their garden or water a few trees? Why are folks
called environmentalists who agonize over "paper or plastic", but not
the ranch wife who walks to her garden and carries her food home in a
reusable basket?
I don't understand
the people trying to outrun the smog they helped create who move to the
country and then try to remake it in the image of the Hell-hole they
just left. Why are they the environmentalists but not the good people
who created the welcoming environment to begin with? Frankly, I've had
it with idiots raised on the pavement who move to the country and then
want to fix the ecological imbalance by holding fundraisers for greedy
green groups so they can evict ranchers who've been on the land for five
or six generations and created the idyllic environment the greenies
coveted. I swear, we're living in an era of natural nonsense, enviro
twaddle and eco blather spouted by ecomeddlers and limousine liberals
who step high over bugs to avoid squishing them and ride electric bikes
and therefore know everything there's to know about the natural world.
