Show ' : J I Nuts Have Worn Out Their Welcome ' Now the problem is how to get rid of them. The current energy crisis Is a very much manufactured thing, put together and unloaded onto the people of the United States by that vast variety of Immature hypocrtts who make up the various nut groups: Those Worshipers of the Wilderness, Lovers of the Loam, Huggers of the Humus, Kissers of the Compost Heap, whose lobby-gows In Congress foisted the practically Impossible back-to-the-farm clean air act onto an Industrial nation. These ecology-as-lt-ls hard liners, ofttlmes headed by socalled "professors" who are really Ivory tower pundits whose hatred of people as people and whose hatred of the lesser Intellects of the mass of the population is reflected In Ihelr every published utterance, are entirely out of touch with reality. Every time a field Is plowed the ecology of that field is disrupted. Every time wheat is planted instead of letting the daisies grow, the ecology so pofoundly worshipped by the nuts, W violated. So, let them eat daisies while we eat bread. A recently seen bumper sticker put it very well, "Let the b s freeze to death In the dark.' The nuts forbidding of the production of electrical power because of fear of violating the stupid clean air act; Their forbidding of necessary off-shore oil drilling. Their stoppage of the Alaskan pipe line have all combined to put this cation Into the predicament in which it finds Itself. A predicament where the greatest nation on earth can be blackmailed by a bevy of backward, formerly begger, but now oil-rich petty nations whose entire popuatlons could be tucked away into any of our smaller states without over crowding If we could only unload the nuts. Or at least weaken their hold on our legislators, every thing would be fine. The working portion -of the nation, management and labor, could pro- , ceed along the way of progress, so well started, to a better way of life, a belter world for all of us. |
