Thank God for the 2nd amendment. We're eventually going to need it in order to prevent these wackjobs from doing exactly what George Washington and the rest of the founding fathers warned us about. "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

They won't be happy until the survivors of their glorious plans are living on the ground in the open competing barehanded with bears for the last berries of the summer, and begging permission of the local forest chief for permission to pull up a carrot from the ground. They want absolute control of every facet of our lives and though some of them are no doubt "sincere", they are blind to the damage they are willing to cause to make the Earth in the image that they believe is correct. Strip them naked and drop them in the jungles of Africa and South America. Let them love an average lifespan of 35 years, 75% of their children dying before adulthood, starvation, and rampant diseases that curtail every effort they make to improve their lives. I could go on forever, but it all comes down to "people bad" "environmentalists and government good." They have no faith in the ability of people to solve problems, to overcome obstacles, to create opportunities, to be a resource for all humans. They look at humans as a blight and disease on the planet and seek to do all they can to eliminate humanity from the planet under the guise of saving the planet for the planet.
