To the Editor:
It has come to my attention that some people find some of my ideas unreasonable. I’m all right with that. In a democracy, even unreasonable ideas can be discussed. In a fascist dictatorship, unpopular and foolish ideals are forced upon a populous by a leader not elected by the majority of the citizens.
I do not suppress government studies that contradict industry, nor do I let industry findings become government policy. I don’t print money for my friends or spy on law-abiding citizens, and I would never think of letting a foreign police force into my country. I do not cower to industry or hide behind their media or allow their media to brainwash me and my family with ideas of infinite growth, terrorism, safety, magic carpets and flying elephants. I back up everything with scientific fact on my website because I believe in government openness, scientific progress and human decency.
My ideals may seem unreasonable to some. Personally, I think it is foolish to poison the air, water, soil and food and expect to lead a long, healthy and prosperous life. It is selfish and irresponsible to take everything for myself and leave nothing for my children and grandchildren. I might be wrong, but looking at western society today, my mamma might have taught me right.
This is why I have joined the Greens. They are not puppets of the New World Order. They believe that democracy and open government will lead us down a better path, that people, not industry, drive economic development and prosperity, and that education of the populous is key to the future, not little boxes stacked on top of one another. Decentralized government, localized energy production, 100-mile diets, decentralized banking, nutrition, and accountability. Who can argue with these ideals?
You can vote for orange or red, but history states that you will be banging your head on the wall in five years like you are today. And 12 years ago. And 10 years before that, and 10 years before that and so on and so forth. It is time to stop the cycle of stupidity. It is time for the Greens.
