Tu B’Shevat
Today is the Jewish holiday celebrating the New Year for trees. It is only a minor holiday but it is a good occasion to plant a tree. I planted eight fast-growing crepe myrtle trees in my backyard five years ago and they now are about 12 ft high and produce masses of pink blossom every January. So take it from me: Planting trees is both rewarding and an expression of faith in the future.
Greenies seem to have given up on trees. They see it as a great victory that McDonald’s now uses cardboard instead of polystyrene. Yet using cardboard causes whole forests of trees to be cut down. And the war on plastic bags is the same. Many vendors have now reverted to brown paper bags instead — which again causes lots of trees to be cut down. So should Greenies now be renamed as “Brownies”? Maybe not. I think the average Brownie would be more logical.

The truth about the green movement, is that it is nothing more than a RED movement. Communism by any means necessary. Trees, cute furry animals, earthquakes, whatever. First it was pollution, then the rain forests, then they were saying we only had 10 years left and the oceans would all die (like 15 years ago..hello?), then global warming, now it’s climate change, paper bags, plastic bags, incandescent bulbs, mercury filled flourescent bulbs, herds of cattle, hog farms (I never get tired of pointing out that Kennedy’s are retards and not enough of them fly private planes) who knows what’s next? The reason none of it makes sense is that all this nonsense is designed to do one thing; show that the “movement” can control your behavior whenever it wishes. They don’t care about animals, trees, pollution, or global cooling/heating/freezing/burning/hurricane-ing/tornado-ing/volcano-erupting. They care about forcing you to live as they desire you to live.
