This is the power of ideas in action. In this case, bad ideas, very bad ideas. I am reminded of one of Dr John Ridpath’s recorded lectures where he said in his big booming voice “Bad ideas KILL.” I look at crap like this and see this as the first overt tentative steps in that direction by the green movement. You think you’re joking, Zip? One of these days some twit will do neck spikes for real.

Well, that would be for the public good, right?

It’s a religion, this consensus of environmental ideology.

Just make sure they go on a 10 mile run.
