Bumper sticker

Stopped at a red light today, I saw a bumper sticker on the car ahead of me. It read, "Tree Hugging, Dirt Lover". At that moment, I knew I was in the presence of "environmentally-conscious" people.

That sticker was accompanied by numerous other rainbow-striped stickers — a true 60's hippie paradise and, evidently, a promotion of homosexual "rights" — as if homosexuals don't already have rights.

Two females, who obviously have bought into every lie of the environmental and cultural Marxists, occupied the vehicle.

As the light turned green, and as I watched this pair of earth-firsters drive away, the cogs in my mind began to turn.

How would they feel if they only knew that their cause will likely lead to the prohibition of their automobile on the road?

After all, everyone knows that cars produce carbon dioxide, a "dangerous pollutant", which allegedly contributes to a frightening rise in temperatures known as "global warming" via the "greenhouse gas effect".

Even though they purport to love trees and dirt, they must have been ignorant of the detrimental effects of their car on the environment. Had they been thinking properly, they would have considered the devastating effects of drilling for oil on the Alaskan wildlife, or the wildlife in other places such as the Middle East. Somehow, these soil-smooching leaf lovers failed to ponder those ramifications when they sat their sizable hind-ends on the seats, and fired up their oil-consuming, foreign jalopy for a nice drive down Saginaw highway.

Alas, no one is perfect.

I also wondered if they ever enjoyed rides out in the country to spend titillating moments with their goddess, "mother earth". Undoubtedly, the roads they drive on to get to their beloved trees will be eliminated under the Wildlands Project, but that fact is lost to their proud, conservationist minds.

Eliminating the roads is necessary, as the presence of humans among the many critters of the forest would serve no positive purpose. Humans — even self-proclaimed "environmentally-friendly" ones — are evil and disturb the natural evolution of the earth's fragile eco-system. Therefore, roads, and the cars used to travel them, are unsustainable no-nos.

There are other matters that cause me to question the extent of dedication these bleeding-heart Marxists have toward their beloved environmental movement.

Could the limitations on water use that will be placed upon them in the future be enough to shake their faith? I wondered how they would feel about trying to bathe and clean their house without water, for instance.

I wondered about their diets. They certainly appeared to be very well-fed. I'd bet the vast majority of what they eat consists of things that are considered "non-sustainable" by the same people whose environmental agendas they so blindly and ignorantly support.

Perhaps these greenies are property owners. Does it matter to them that as the environmental agenda moves forward, private property will be a relic of the past?

This summer in Michigan has been extraordinarily cool. But when their global warming demon really takes his grip, they'll undoubtedly want to hit the "AC" button on their dashboard.

However, that too, is not allowed under the blueprint for sustainable development — for which all environmental organizations push.

The point is that too many people get behind causes about which they really know very little. And they'll support these causes ignorantly, until the negative ramifications begin to have a profound impact upon their way of life. Too often then, it's too late.

And Agenda 21, the United Nations environmental wish list, will ultimately change every Americans' way of life completely. It will change where you live, how you live, what you eat, and how much you eat. Indeed, it is already changing many of these things.

I couldn't help thinking how pathetic the whole situation is, that these people promote ideas that will someday be used to enslave the entire population — including themselves!

There's an old saying that goes something like this: "Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it."

Lovers of the environment beware! Be careful what cause you get behind, or your cause may someday get you from behind.
