He points out that we can have no idea what the earth's biosphere will be like tens of thousands of years from now.
And, more importantly for those alive in the here and now, we can never predict the effects of our political and economic decisions even in the near future.
As the great philosopher, Yogi Berra, said: "It's tough to make predictions...
...especially about the future."
Yet, libralz are crazy about centrally planned nirvanas which always end up being nightmares.
They want to reorganize society with impossible plans to tax and spend and remake society with collectivism and redistribution. This planing is all hubris because it ignores the basic facts of human nature:
Bullies will bully until we stand up to them. Many will keep after you until you sock them in the face and knock them down and defeat them. This applies to other nations. Endless talking and compromising and negotiation is a sign of weakness. If people and other nations do not respect your strength they will trash and conquer you.
Hello!
All of these idle dreams and illusions you libralz hold so dear would work just fine if we humans were not often lazy, greedy, selfish, ignoramuses.
So, instead of utopia, you get Cheekago: Lots of graft, lots of unnecessary city and county workers collecting paychecks for doing mostly hangin' out and rounding up voters once or twice a year. You get taxes on everything going up all the time so there's very little left over for you and your kids. You get the connected getting fat government contracts. You get the connected running huge gooberment pension plans, after they slip the right guyz a lot of dough.
In, short liberalz/Pwogwesseves must totally ignore the repeated rotten consequences of all of their talking and taxing and spending. They must ignore the fundamental corruptions which sap and rob us all of our best human qualities such as pride, and honor, and discipline and merit. They just keep making the same mistakes over and over, and these repeated mistakes weaken us all and weaken our country and our resolve.
I see it as just a big power game. Alpha Democrats get paid by the alpha gazillion aires to protect their wealth stashed away in their trusts, foundations and offshore holdings.
Yet, they must pay for all of their wonderful plans so they tax the rest of us poor schmucks who work for a living. They tax us to death, my fems, while gazillion-aires like Corzine plead for federal money to bail out the bloated state and local governments.
So, please STOP.
I know you mean well.
Just think about it, OK?
Your brain won't explode if you think about it a little bit.
