Is A Real-Life Soylent Green Society Just Around The Corner?

As I've said before, to be radical green and to fight the fight against global warming is to literally hate humanity.

Those green-eyed followers of Al Gore just hate all people; except, of course, themselves. That's because all "other" people do the most horrible of horrible things. They breath and expel carbon dioxide. They breed both poultry and cattle and -- Yikes! -- they eat them. Even more horrifying, those poultry and cattle are disgusting destroyers of the earth's land and our environment with their grazing, their smell, and their need for food. Then, too, people drive those carbon spewing and ugly things called automobiles and trucks. They destroy all of nature with their homes, their workplaces, and their roads. And, worse yet, they keep having babies! And they have the gall to call themselves civilized?

I think the best example of this hatred of humanity by the green ECO-nuts comes from the United Kingdom. Currently, the UK has about 60 million people and, horror of horrors, they will grow to 71 million people by the year 2030. Damn babies!

One of the small-minded "green" people who works for Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Jonathon Porritt, has now gone on record as saying that the U.K. must cut its population in half. This would not only save the planet but it would establish a U.K. population level that could sustain itself, food-wise, for many decades to come (See Full Story). Mr. Porritt also includes the United States in his assessment. I guess we keep having babies, too. We're sorry!

I don't know how Mr. Porritt thinks the population would be cut in half. If you simply force widespread sterilization, it would take quite a while for the population to recede and halve itself. That's because the death rate in most industrialized countries is about 2% per year. Anyway, if you did do that, you wind up with an aging population that would be all tied up in taking care of an even older, elderly population. Nursing homes, Polident and Depends would be the number one industries. So, that can't be the answer.

I personally think Mr. Porritt is talking about something else. I think he's thinking about euthanizing the elderly population along with some form of birth limitations. This would fit the insanity of all the ECO-nuts who are wildly running around, pulling out their hair, throwing rocks at coal-fired power plants, and trying to save the planet from humanity, itself.

My guess is that Mr. Porritt is an avid fan of the movie Soylent Green where the elderly are assisted in their own suicide so the remainder of the population can live and eat off food that is made from their dehydrated remains. That movie gave new meaning to the expression: "Is anyone up for Chinese?"

If that be the case, I would urge him to start the process off by pulling his Bentley or Rolls (I'm sure he has one) into the garage; close the door; leave the engine running while sipping some Earl Grey; and, then, end singing an emotional version of "God Save the Queen". How serene! That would still leave 29,999,999 people left to go. But, it would be a start!

Wouldn't you just love to sample a little Porritt meat with broccoli, rice, and muenster cheese; wrapped in a delicate puff pastry? Like Anthony Hopkins in the Silence of the Lambs, you could even say: "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti!" Mmmm!
