That's why I prefaced my posting with "It's just too bad". - DDW Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:19:09 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2820 Eric Hoffer, 1951 – “The True Believer – Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements” P.11 “When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors , shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed. For there is often a monstrous incongruity between the hopes, however noble and tender, and the actions that follows them. It is as if ivied maidens and garlanded youths were to herald the four horsemen of the apocalypse. And p.12 “People who see their lives as irremediably spoiled cannot find a worth-while purpose in self-advancement...Their innermost craving is for a new life – a rebirth – or failing this, a chance to acquire new elements of pride, confidence, hope, a sense of purpose and worth by an identification with a holy cause. An active mass movement offers them opportunities for both...” and P. 13 “ It is true that in the early adherents of a mass movement there are also adventurers who join in the hope that that the movement will give a spin to their wheel of fortune and whirl them to fame and power.” And Eric Hoffer, 1979 – “Before the Sabbath” p. 7 “ I am curious about Pechorin, a Russian intellectual of the mid-nineteenth century who wrote a poem on “How sweet it is to hate one’s native land and eagerly await its annihilation.” - Fran Manns Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:33:37 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2819 Remember the lesson of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. The assumption that there is or ever will be man-made climate change (Remember the Orwellian global warming of yesteryear?) is the big dead elephant in the room. I think all the politicians on the bandwagon need to be replaced by public servants who can objectively evaluate scientific and technical data. - Fran Manns Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:18:05 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2815 Absolutely correct, Bliss Tew. "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations – entangling alliances with none." ~ Thomas Jefferson - RP Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:55:55 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2814 Another name for "non-involvement" is merely "neutrality." The Founding Fathers created a federal government that was initially "neutral" in its foreign-affairs with other nations avoiding "entangling alliances." The UN Climate Change Treaty would be another entanglement that we as a nation should avoid altogether by remaining neutral and thus outside of the United Nations machinations to control the earth's environment and all human activities. - Bliss Tew Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:40:00 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2812 You are 100% correct in that the rest of the is NOT our responsibility. Let the others fend for themselves. However, I don't think isolationism is the solution. It is not practical, and in fact, may be impossible. NON-INVOLVEMENT, however, is both realistic AND possible. Just a matter of terminology, perhaps? If I misunderstood what you meant, my apologies. - RP Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:25:51 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2809 It is imperative that we KEEP emailing/writing/phoning our Representatives and Senators on this issue. Yes, the cap and trade people have been dealt a blow. But it is important to remember that the NWO will NEVER take "NO" for an answer! As the article states, the Internationalists are merely on a "spin cycle", i.e., a temporary delay while they wait for the outrage to settle down. They WILL be back! To the NWO, "no" simply means, "not yet". - RP Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:07:28 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5577-climate-change-conference-update#comment-2807 That we can't go back to isolationism. The rest of the world is NOT our responsibility. Let them ALL shift for themselves, including Europe. - DDW Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:48:53 +0100
