Why bother being a good person on a daily basis when if you go to church on suday all is well? Why bother helping your neighbor when you just replaced all the lights in your house with CF? Either way, you’re doing your part..right?

This environmentalism is mostly compensatory for being a total ass in everyday life. It’s a bunch of pricks with a loophole that lets them feel superior to people not in their mindset and immune to basic morality.

It’s the same mindset that lets people worry about the wildlife in Africa and spreading Christianity in South America while the PEOPLE in those lands starve to death.

I’m only speaking of the extremes of both groups. Naturally the median is mostly good people, but it’s the extremes that get the attention and set the motion.

RE: Nice article by Occams :: NR8

Well actually in any group there are just as many people who are worse than the median as there are who are better. The median could be just one person.

I guess most people who starve to death in fertile lands do so because of the actions of other people – usually people who have armies and no scruples. We would be very brave, and soon dead, if we try to help there.

We can often do something about the animals.

I think that the missionaries in South America usually start by trying to improve the welfare of the people, probably because they know that they won’t make progress on their souls until their bodies are in a safe place. That is at least better than those of us who do nothing.
