Diane Francis - Dum Dum
Diane Francis, is a writer for the National Post, the USA Today of Canada. Ms. Francis authored a piece this week titled: “The Real Inconvenient Truth (The whole world needs to adopt China’s one-child policy)” It begins thusly:
“The ‘inconvenient truth’ overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.
A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The world’s other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity’s soaring reproduction rate.”
This is mind numbingly stupid on so many levels and proof positive that the world would be much better off without dum dums like Ms. Francis. I don’t mean to suggest by that last statement, or the title of this article, that people like Ms. Francis do not have the right to exist, or should be placed in quarantine so that their epic stupidity doesn’t threaten healthy brains. Instead, I am suggesting that if we returned to teaching facts in our schools with an emphasis on problem solving based on analytical rather than emotional thinking, they would not exist. The few kooks that inevitably fall through the cracks, would be more readily recognizable to a much larger number of people.
…Ms. Francis, Al Gore, Barack Obama and the whole liberal Democratic crackpot party are not a few fries short of a happy meal in the sense that they didn’t get all the fries they should have, they are not crazy. We the American people are the fries. And if I can mix metaphorical franchises here, in an attempt to “have it their way” the politicians are not ordering fries with their meals at all as they disregard the will of the people in this “post political” Obama administration’s approach to governing.
Everything they plan to do is contrary to common sense, everything! Please stop and think before you nod your head in agreement because you identify with a political party or a person’s skin color. Use your head for something other than a place to try out the latest hair product, Think! If you do, by and by, we can realize a world without dum dums.”
