@1:

And your evidence for this is? Oh, right. We live in a post-evidence world, where wastes-of-electrons such as yourself can pull any old shit out of their ass and call it the "truth".

@1 dead enders like you who refuse to hear what scientists have to say should be ashamed of the future they are preparing for our children. Climate change deniers (who usually know shit about the science) have as much morality as genocidal maniacs.

@1 You now know how it feel to be shamed by a bunch of kids who are adult enough to hear what scientists are saying, mental midget.

" How can you beat this argument if you are using the same terms as those who do not want the world to change, and therefore its defining value system to change? "

You could tell them that you'll proceed in the same exact fashion they and everybody else has always been doing: congress will authorize spending for the Green New Deal, and treasury will spend the money. Bush's military adventurism isn't paid for, neither are tax cuts for plutocrats.

@1: Bullshit. The kids who went out went out ON THEIR OWN. None of them had to be "pressured" to fight for the preservation of the planet. Your post is an expression of the disgusting right-wing delusion that, if it weren't for "outside agitators", nobody would question anything the right wants. There's little difference between the idea that kids had to be pressured to support a cause which is about keeping life on Earth going at least until they can finish college and the 19th century plantation delusion that, if it wasn't for those dadblamed Yankee abolitionists, the slaves would've been perfectly happy picking cotton sixteen hours a day until they die of old age at 40

Charles you use both the phrase "green new deal" and "new green deal", do you mean the same thing by them or slightly different things? If I had to guess I'd say, I think you mean slightly different things but you don't make that difference clear (at least not clear to me). Please clarify.

Side note if there is a "new green deal", what was/is the "old green deal"? something along the lines of burn everything?

Just curious.

I'm OK with giving up my hamberders. Where I draw the line are french fries...

Even when I agree with you, Charles, your writing makes me want to pry my own eye out with a fork.

@10: There is no such thing as a "Green New Deal," because an actual proposal does not exist. Right now it is a list of pie in the sky fantasies being used as a political tool. This is why writing on it is so nebulous and partisan.

Basically in its current state, is just a litmus test for if you think the future economy should be based on environmental principles or not. There is no meat on that bone currently.

What did you leave behind in Rhodesia?
