Once upon a time, when I was just a child, I used to think that those who were bigger than me were therefore somehow also wiser. You know, people like mom and dad, scientists, and even the President. But as my adult years have passed, I’ve come to know that age is no guarantee of wisdom and that everyone has their own agenda.
It used to be that the agenda of scientists was a collective agenda to pursue an understanding of reality, a search for the truth of how things are and how they work. It was both a sacred and a noble task, this search; done for the sake of truth and truth alone.
But somewhere, somehow, the field began to be dominated by those who wouldn’t know a truth if it sat down beside them and introduced itself. Like a hamster on a wheel, many parts of the scientific community have become only never-ending churn in order to keep grants and funding coming in; as if busyness alone was enough to command respect.
It also used to be that the President of the United States was a leader. The one person who stood for the best this country had and could be, and who would die in defense of the freedoms upon which She was founded. We elected this leader to watch over the collective and keep us safe, and we sent representatives to work with the President for the same purpose.
But somewhere, somehow, being elected to the White House and to Congress began to be dominated by those who thought that being sent to serve meant they were smarter or somehow “above” those whom they represent. They, too, became like hamsters on a wheel, churning out more and more legislation that only restricts our freedoms and our rights instead of seeking to defend them; giving away what they, themselves, have not earned to those who have not worked for it either, solely to gain votes to stay in Washington.
When you put the two of these together, the scientists who value their titles more than their work and a President and Congress who see the people they represent as nothing more than an ignorant trough from which they are entitled to feed, you end up where we are today. Bad science dominates our government’s decisions, and whether it is due to the scientists need to pander for money from the politicians or the politicians seeking a convenient excuse from the scientists to pry more money and freedoms from America’s citizens, the result is the same: the monstrous myth of global warming.
It’s like watching a bunch of sheep go into a tailspin over the unexpected waving of a single blade of grass in the field and the hypocritical administration is now pulling out all the stops to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people. If the TV commercial of late isn’t about some drug or another to correct erectile dysfunction, it’s about “green energy”. It makes me think about the impotence of tilting at windmills (that no one wants in their own backyard, mind you.)
I was sent this video today and decided to post it here. Trust the late George Carlin to put things into perspective.
Anyone up for sheering some sheep?
