IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN
By Jim Foster
{The Encarta World English Dictionary defines “GREEN” as the following; 1. A color in the spectrum between yellow and blue. 2. Consisting of or containing green leaves of vegetables. 3. Consisting of or containing grass, plants, or foliage. 4. Green or green supporting or promoting the protection of the environment. 5. Produced in an environmentally and ecologically friendly way, for example, by using renewable resources. 6. Unripe or not mature.}
It is a shame this simple word, and beautiful color have led the way to so many negative words and activities – and so many have turned something good into something so wrong.
Upheld by many of the uneducated masses as well as the over-educated idiots with more interest in continuing their grants, stroking an ego, or political advancement, than protecting anything on this planet. I do wonder about judges who make such outrageous rulings a first year law student could spot the wrong thinking. In many cases, “fair and impartial” does not include the Montana judge.
Adding issues to the Green List has been easy. The first and most widely spread, and sadly believed, is “global warming” which has been touted in the mainstream press parroting the words of the presidential loser and noted mental midget, Al Gore. His winning an Oscar and the Nobel Prize just go to show how environmentally stupid some people have become. Just remember Yasier Airafat won the Pease prize, a man responsible for killing thousands with his PLO.
Hollywood’s recognition is not that surprising due to the numerous personalities who believe their show business popularity gives them the ability to comment on other issues. Most of these “stars” are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
And then there is the issue of the gray wolf in the Rocky Mountain States. An emotional issue involving emotional people who don’t know or want to know the facts as they are – not the “facts” according to the Humane Society of the United States or the ever so phony, excuse the expression, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Sierra Club. These two groups aren’t green they are mean.
I would like to remind these educated jerks that when they sue the U.S. Fish & Wildlife for something stupid it’s their tax dollars that are used to defend the suit.
So, now the gray wolf is off the endangered species list and Idaho has opened it’s first hunting season complete with a resident license costing $11.75. Thousands of hunters were on hand the day they went on sale to buy their tags. To sweeten the pot on opening day two Idaho hunters from different ends of the state filled their tags with a lot more season left in which to hunt.
Unexpectedly the wolf loving federal judge Molloy hasn’t ruled in favor of the 13 so called environmental groups who filed the suit in his court. I am sure groups thought the suit was a done deal considering the way Molloy ruled the last time putting the wolf back on the Endangered Species List.
The dismal truth is that Molloy completely ignored the science offered in his court by experts and ruled in favor of his wolf loving buddies. Many believe he should be removed from the bench and then disbarred. Of course these were some of the milder comments that were made, after all he does live in Montana where hunting is a way of life and anti-hunters are considered somewhere below the lowest vermin.
One funny item to come out of the wolf issue the Friends of Animals group from Connecticut has urging people to boycott Idaho potatoes because of the wolf-hunting season. I do wonder what these human speed bumps will boycott when the Montana wolf season opens?
So folks you can be friends of whomever you wish – for this writer I will continue to friends with people.
So, I will close this and go wolf hunting.
