Forgive me for breathing

Penny Wong was totally unconvincing on Lateline . Virginia was on the ball with her simple question about cost -
The answer ? There was none - there are huge costs and the greens think a tax on everyone is fair - Like a pox on everything ? ? Perhaps its a bit like - when you can't see the target shoot the messenger or just anyone in the direction that upsets you ?
Got news for the gun lobbyers. Shoot straight or you'll hit the innocent .you are hitting the innocent . You will lose your licence and go to jail . Whatever happened to targeting the polluter, the rich and careless? The dummies don't know how to balance incentive with admonition . The fine line between pleasure and pain is also a mystery to them .

How long do you think the chicken run circus of hot air on hot air is going to last you dummies? No use finding an even bigger reason to scare people into action . Coercion has a way of backfiring on the public -esp when many of us scientists too have had it up to here with the politicization of science .Funding your own fancies - thats what you get !.

Nelson has finally nailed the heavenly minded harries who try to put wheels on a car they haven't got an engine for . Nooone who is seriuos about a problem as costly as carbon controls would talk to the problem when they haven't got a clue about the solutions. This is the sort of stuff of nightmares . predictable ones.

The carbon trading idea is no more than an idea. One that we have said before was born in kindergarten where the advisers don't know carrot from stick cause they have never worked in ecomia . We have told you before, but no you say "scientists say " when you listen to only those who say what you want them to say .Penny Wong is unconvincing . King kevin hasty visit to the sea can't be compared to Canutes - Canute did not go to learn, but to educate the ignorant advisors . I wonder who is leading who and where ?
Canute knew the limits of economics and science, and was a great leader. Centuries later, we ought to be advancing the revolution in ecomia but are we? --- goverenmnets in their haste in the last few years have thrown out many economic ecologists--- thinking perhaps they were mad to show their leaders the very size of the sea and its power ?
Luckily I am not threatened - if there is a problem with C02 . There are big eco challenges. However, I am not swayed by all the unproductive noise in the henhouse . If anything they are giving the threats , and the real threats -----a bad name.
The greatest evil is done in the name of the best intention . Why ? often because illinformed intention distracts attention from the true targets for resistance . Conservationists- get serious, not sentimental and shallow-- like so many you see on TV .

How long do you think they can continue to make us feel bad - just for breathing?
