Update: Apologies to Leigh Webb for misspelling his name – posts are being corrected.
That post is here – totalitarianism of the environmental movement. Yeah, I’m still banned over at TreeHugger (you can tell by its name, yes?). I guess that I keep sinning – Strict Environmentalism heterodoxy cannot allow for any straying from the permitted speech. Sure, there is a “Conservative heterodoxy” here at the ‘Grok as well, but as long as you don’t run yourself against Rule #1, we tolerate most other views or outbursts the vast majority of the time.
But not at TreeHugger. This time, they are trying to cover for Nanny Bloomberg who cares not a whit for what people want for themselves but only for how he thinks they should behave. This time, the headline is “Bloomberg plans to get New Yorkers composting”
Sidenote: just like NH State Representative Lee Leigh Webb who recently summed up his (and the Democratic and Progressive philosophy):
“The role of government is to legislate behavior“
Once again, in a single sentence, we see the underlying mantra of the totalitarianism that is the Progressive Democrat agenda: You WILL do what we tell you to do – and we are redefining “freedom” such that you still think you have some.
Back to the post – the problem with the headline should be obvious – yes, Nanny Bloomberg IS planning composting for NYC but the operative word failure is “get”. However, that is the wrong word – the proper word, if you read the post, should have been “force“. Once again, we see a Progressive that believes that what he knows to be best for all will force others to do it – voluntary participation will not be part of the final solution.
Yet again, I could not help myself – even having been banned (hey, hope springs eternal – or is it merely waving a red flag?):
