From the first Earth day, quotations of the intellectual elite

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” - George Wald, Harvard Biologist

“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” - Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist

“Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.” - New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” - Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.” - Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day in 1970."

Edmonton Journal letters

I chuckle at all the contributors to the Edmonton Journal letters who use the vernacular of the left, "Scary", "frightening", and the references to the "hidden agenda".

Two years ago, most were still PC's, and being torpedoed by the left for being scary, frightening and hiding a hidden agenda.

Now, six months after Mommy was anointed to the premier's office, these right-wingers of last year have shifted so far to the left that they are making Brian  Mason look reasonable.

There is an entire subset of these contributors who trot out the Dani Dollars as if it is a bad thing to give dividends of a surplus economy to the citizens.  How many times have we heard the left point (rightfully) to Alaska and its citizen dividends and demand an answer to why Albertans do not receive one?

These former scary right wingers are now shuddering in fear of the hidden agenda of Danielle Smith and her party of old white men.  (Odd, no?).

To quote Pogo, "We have found the enemy and he are us".
