Earth Day is such a Hallmark holiday

One of the biggest lies about Earth Day is that it is some grassroots thing. If you look at the organizers of the first Earth Day according to Wikipedia, it was total astroturf.

It was even stated that the week of April 22nd was chosen to maximize college student participation.

In the Wikipedia entry (no unbiased information source itself), they can't even imagine there were people who cared about the earth before the organizers were born. I'm no fan of Rousseau or Thoreau but they existed before these damn dirty hippies did and they cared about nature too.

We've had nearly 40 years of these leftwing extremists trying to shove lies and deceptions about the state of our planet, our energy use, and our lives down our throats and I am sick of it. Sick of hearing how I am bad because I don't agree with every idiotic and wasteful save-the-earth idea they come up with.

There are no Pros without Cons but these activists don't seem to understand there is a trade off. If we give up cheap abundant energy, then millions of Americans will not be able to afford air conditioning in the summer and will die. Millions more will not be able to afford heating in the winter and will die. But these "environmentalists" care more about dirt, than people.

This day makes me sick because it only functions as a deliberately created platform for leftwing activists to spew falsehoods in an attempt to control how we lead our lives. And dollars to donuts, Hallmark will come out with some Sierra-Club-Sanctioned "Earth Day Cards" within the next five years.
