From foie gras to sugar to salt to plastic bags to guns. From homeopath
products to coffee to alcohol and cigarettes to recycling. From GMO to
climate change to vaccines. From race to racialism. From music lyrics to
classic novels and films that offend contemporary sensitive
sensibilities to the attack and sometimes destruction of freedom of
speech. Never mind the disturbing trend of reversing our hallowed maxim
of innocent until proven guilty. Nope. Now, it's all burn them at the stake before the facts come in.
It's a culture of fear and control (usually in the incompetent and
nonsensical form of bans (for our own good), caps and trades (with
negligible results and impact on the environment but a boon for eco-profiteers),
taxes that help to spawn create black markets etc). Always has been.
Once upon a time we were terrified of gods, witches, technology, and
Jews (well, we still are apparently). We just made a trade is all. We're
far more ambitious with this climate change thing.
Point is. Aspirin (and Crestor) works.
Irrational behavior (always masked in self-righteous crap or scientific
jargon) is a key feature of humanity. Guys like Bloomberg are
nanny-ninnies who seek to control in the name of protecting. In the end,
all they contribute to the 'greater good' is irrationalism. Often graduating into surreal logic and behavior.
Release your inner reason I say. Appeal to your basic logic free of emotional input. No?
It also seems to happen quite a bit in capitalist systems. But I digress.
Nevertheless, be careful. Be very afraid.-http://friendlymisanthropist.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-cult-of-scaredy-cat-nut-cases.html
