Sheryl Crow and Laurie David, on their Global Warming hysteria tour, have helpfully proved the adage that it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open it and dispell any doubt.
First they attacked Karl Rove at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which begins to look more like a well planned publicity stunt rather than a sincere effort to pursuade Karl Rove that Global Warming is real, then Crow announced that your use of toilet paper should be policed in some manner.
If you didn’t already know Crow and David are on tour to ‘raise awareness’ about global warming. What better way to garner attention for your awareness tour than to attack Karl Rove as a rude evil bastard? It’s nothing more than politics as a marketing vehicle.
Still, it is Crow’s proposed solutions to global warming that I find most instructive.
Crow has suggested using “only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required”.
The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change. ~news.bbc.co.uk
One, two, or three squares? Is that even sanitary? I can’t imagine using only a single square of toilet paper. What kind of ‘paper’ is she using? A single square of normal everyday tiolet paper, at least the kind available to us proletariat types, is utterly useless for the job, unless you don’t mind getting expletive deleted all over your hand.
Which makes me think that the picture that accompanies this BBC story is more than coincidence and says something about Crow’s use, or lack thereof, of tiolet paper. It also says a great deal about both the use, or lack thereof, of Crow’s reasoning abilities. Exactly how does Crow think that such a proposal is to be enforced?
“Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
“I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.” ~news.bbc.co.uk
Shall we dare ponder how the toilet paper police will monitor your TP usage? Perhaps the least intrusive way might be to simply place cameras in every bathroom everywhere. I can’t imagine the number of new officers it would take for there to be an officer there in-person to monitor your TP usage, unless they would also just happen to be monitoring an all-encompassing range of other lifestyle choices as well. Such as your eating habits, sexual practices, manners, word choice, travel arrangements… but perhaps that is the ultimate goal here. What part of life should not be limited in order to save the planet?
The sad truth is that this is what Global Warming is truly about. It’s not about saving the planet at all. It’s about advancing the liberal and leftist agenda. Just as climate change convert Catherine Lerza of the Tides Foundation explains:
Global warming is not simply an environmental issue. It is an economic issue, a social justice issue, a lifestyle issue. It’s about race, class and democratic participation. It’s about globalization and global democracy. It’s about national security and global security. ~alternet.org
Global warming is the penultimate liberal boogeyman, (second only to Bush perhaps), precisely because without a crisis of some sort liberal policies don’t make any sense. In what reality does regulating toilet paper usage to a single square “per sitting” make any sense whatsoever? None. And yet this is where liberal ideology and absolute self-absorbtion can take you.
Global Warming is a means to an end. It is a propaganda vehicle for progressives worldwide.
The social engineers have not put away their plans or tabled their intense desire to remake the world in the image of their idoelogy. They have merely had to camoflage and retool their rhetoric. Where once they would have fomented revolution in the name of the working class against capital they now foment revolution in the name of the environment against capital.
The goal is nevertheless to control society completely, extensively, and ‘holistically’.
What you are describing is a profound overhaul of American economics and culture. In this sense, addressing the problem of climate change gives us an opportunity to build a lifestyle that’s more in accordance with our values, right? ~alternet.org
It’s nice to see Sheryl Crow, with her entourage, speaking out about global warming. Helps show her hypocrisy so well.
One problem, tho. I turn on the TV tonight, and I hear Sheryl’s song “Every Day is a Winding Road”. And guess what? It’s an ad for SUV’s sold by Subaru!
Sheryl, why are you helping sell SUV’s? Or, do you plan on giving back the money Subaru paid you to use your music in their commercials?
Hooray for gulfstream environmentalism.
YOU and ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE SICK!!!!!!
Trogdor,
‘Gulfstream environmentalism’ is spot on.
STAUNCH DEMOCRAT,
By ‘sick’ you mean the slang term sick, as in cool, or ‘wicked cool’ perhaps?
