We are now totally indoctrinated with a concern for the environment: “Go green, recycle, and feel better about protecting our world.” Tragically, though necessary, the small bit that we do as individuals is overwhelmed by the evil that our consumptive governments perpetuate. And, in a way, they have little choice. They are rapacious in their desire to stay in power at any cost. Remember that most representatives “of the people” are elected for four or five years. Therefore, the electorate only wants to hear about economic growth: make me more money and I will keep you in office.
