The Funniest Moment Of The YouTube Democrat Debate
The part where all the candidates were asked if they came to the debate on a private jet, and all the politicians looked as if they weren’t sure how they got to the debate.
On a related note, John Edwards’ wife says that we should buy locally grown fruit in order to cut down on the carbon footprint left by transporting fruit.
The politics of global warming got very concrete, and oddly difficult, In a meeting with local environmentalists in the coastal town of McClellanville today, where Elizabeth Edwards raised in passing the importance of relying on locally-grown fruit.
“We’ve been moving back to ‘buy local,’” Mrs. Edwards said, outlining a trade policy that “acknowledges the carbon footprint” of transporting fruit.
“I live in North Carolina. I’ll probably never eat a tangerine again,” she said, speaking of a time when the fruit is reaches the price that it “needs” to be.
I live in North Dakota. I guess I’ll never eat fruit again, period. Unless I grow it myself, and maybe that’s what proponents of all this global warming nonsense want in the first place. A return to subsistence farming. Regardless, the idea that Elizabeth Edwards is saving the world by not eating tangerines as she and her husband jet around to political events in their private plane is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.
But this does expose a rather large problem with the course this global warming dogma is taking. If it’s not acceptable to create a carbon footprint by transporting fruit about, how is it acceptable to create one delivering iPhones to those that want them? Or books/DVD’s from Amazon? At what point is enough sacrifice going to be enough?
