"So you think we should go back to the Stone Age?" - Granite Grok

“So you think we should go back to the Stone Age?”

“Yes; we’d be better off than where you’re taking us”

This from a guy who’d be without a jacket if petroleum was left in the ground.  When it comes right down to it, folks like him and his co-sojourner Environmental-wackos that want this dreamed about life-style are too enarmoured with the idea of “The Noble Savage” in the Stone Age – Kumbuyah time wearing animal furs but hey, such an idyllic time laying on the grass under the trees and just reaching up and plucking fruit off it.  Seems that they never recognize that the furs they are wearing will also be hunting them.  In such a setting, Hobbes would be right: solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

You know, if they want to be like that, I’m good with it – go off and form the type of commune that let’s you live the delusions in your mind.  Problem is, they hate us that populate the Just Leave Us Alone Coalition – they want it but demand that everyone else must live like them as well.  And that, people, is my problem with that.
