Electrical power generation, Antibiotics, Antivirals, Modern Medicine,
Air Conditioning, The Telephone, oh yeah, those computer thingies and
this Internet we're talking on, to name but a few. We even invented the
technologies that can reduce CO2 emissions: High capacity battery packs,
lightweight electric motors, composite materials, solar panels and
nuclear power generation.

Yeah, the US has worked out pretty well for the world. 

What has Europe invented since WWII? 

Your main contribution to the world for the last century has been war
and various forms of despotic government, which the US had to save you
from (Naziism/Fascism and Communism).

Frankly, I think the us should simply leave Europe to be colonized by
the Jihadis, and you can all go back to the dark ages. The conquest is
already well established in France.

If people need to have an imaginary friend to make it through the world
and cope with their own mortality, so what? Most of them are better
citizens, neighbors, and all round people than curmudgeonly atheist
secular humanists; and in general less of a threat to humanity than deep
ecologists.

The theocrats of the left-enviro Gaia worshipers are the ones who are
forcing people to do things that result in the deaths of millions a
year. Even G.W. Bush's crusade (which I find equally noxious, BTW) has
only managed a total of a few hundred thousand at the outside.

It doesn't matter whether your religion has a personal god or not. It's
still a religion, and you're trying to get it established in law.

Tomas L. Byrnes to me:

Not exactly sure who you are accusing of Narcissistic Individualism.
My
lemma is that the mass of humanity, sensed as a group over time,
exhibits an intelligence that the brightest and best educated, acting
as
an elite in rarefied confines, fail to.

IE: That a Democratic Republic has a better chance of averting
catastrophe than an Oligarchy.

History tends to prove my point.

Which is why more than 50% of the adults in the country you have chosen
to make your home significantly believe in a heavenly deity and a
significant chunk of them still do not believe the Earth goes round the
Sun.

It's why far too many of them do not believe in signiicant climate
change, let alone their own contribution to it, they burn a grossly
disproportionate "share" of the planet's fossil fuels, and so on.

Yes -- the "Democrtaic Republic" you narcissistic individualists favour
really _has_ worked out well for us all...



Regards,

Nick FitzGerald
