Huntin' Shootin' Fishin' and Fornicatin',

[Russ]

Jim D takes exception to my points about Greens being authoritarian to the
core. A blanket statement I grant, but then Jim's closing quote betrays the
truth of the matter-  'the planet is fine, and people are a problem that
will go away'. Rather akin to Foucault's comment about Man being written in
sand really.
All the Greens I've come across, argue that to defend the planet, people
must be controlled in some way. Faced with the consumption of resources
they argue that some measure of authoritarianism is needed to keep the
pesky humans under control for the good of said planet.  I reject this
control, whereas all the Greens argue about, is the degree of control
needed to keep humanity in order. Deeply suspect, and deeply anti-humanist
in my book.
