Oh, yeah. Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Human Race may rest in peace. The more, the better, according to environmentalist doctrine.

I used to be one of them. I should know.

Lest there be any doubt, I'm calling Al Gore and his radical environmentalist pals traitors against humanity. And by Humanity, I mean my daughters and their loved ones. You people have to do better than "An Inconvenient Truth"!

In the latter third of my college career, I gleened an inkling that I would not be excluded from the blow-back from the rhetoric that my "liberal" friends were spewing.

My first reaction was to delve deeper into Conservationism. I was perfectly OK with letting the currently f'ed-up parts of the planet continue as is. Of course, as a hick from the sticks, I wouldn't have missed them if they'd been nuked at any time from before the first Earth Day until the present. Of course, from "today" on, I'd prefer that less indiscriminate methods be used.

There was a period of my life when I would have been happy if only Douglas County, Wisconsin and Sequoia County, Oklahoma survived The nuclear Holocaust. I soon had to include the entire states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

The area of the Earth that I was willing to exclude from total destruction continued to expand as I considered the traumatization of my loved ones. But I was perfectly willing to consider that concern about their emotional welfare must have a limit.

For those who realize just how infantile such a delusion is, I finally began to break with the radical environmentalists when I began to consider biological weapons. How could I save all my love ones without compromising my vision?

Of course, the vision of The Omega Man could make that question academic.

It's fortunate that I didn't discover Earth First before they began Act-ing Up.

I've covered my transition from Enviro-fascist to Neo-con to Libertarian before - Rush Limbaugh and Jason Lewis were instrumental - and I'd want to consult my previous posts before elaborating on that.

The Reacher novels I've been reading hint at why I might have been a terrifying weapon for the anti-human primates. Hint: I understand ballistics, viscerally and intellectually.
