I have added an Addendum to this Blog Posting that was published in my Little Read Book back in 2010. It is a little too complicated to be a Lagniappe, so I came up with an Addendum because it makes me look like I know what I am doing.
If It’s Environmental … It’s OK
With America
Congress can save a lot of time and money with this bit of
Foolishness.
Congress
spends a lot of time trying to name pending legislation so as to ensure that it
will obtain final passage. This means many Closed Door Late Night Meetings searching
for just the right words to name a new bill. This means spending the taxpayer's money on Focus Groups grinding out the exact right Hot-Button Terminology. Think I am being Foolish? How dare you! Please allow me
to prove my Foolishness…
Ø If a bill were proposed to ensure
that big time contributors to Congress' political campaigns are properly
rewarded for their donations, it would probably be named Senior
Citizens Retirement Protection Act.
Ø Do not be too quick to label this
as deceptive. These contributors are going to be Senior
Citizens
someday and they will become feeble and, when they do become feeble, they are
going to need to be protected.
Ø It is a very brave politician
that is going to take the chance that, in an upcoming re-election campaign, he
will be labeled as having voted against Senior
Citizen Retirement Protection.
In the
current legislative Environmental Environment the sure things that will sail
through our Congress are bills that protect the Earth's
Precious Environment.
Here is how Congress can eliminate all those
Closed Door Late Night Meetings and all that tax money spent on those repeated and very expensive Focus Groups.
Ø Environmental Protection Act #1.
Ø Environmental Protection Act #1 can be quickly
followed by Environmental Protection Act #2.
Ø Can you guess what the next one will be
named? You guessed it … Environmental Protection Act #3.
Need I go on?
It is a
very brave and stupid politician that is going to take the chance that, in an
upcoming re-election campaign, he will be labeled as having voted against Environmental
Protection!
What a
stroke of genius this foolishness is! What a time saver! I'm glad I thought of
it.
Would I kid u?

Addendum:
The Environment is back in the news (did it ever leave?). Maybe better said, The Environment Is Back Flat Dab In The Middle Of the News! Yea, that’s better.
It goes without saying (Why do we always say “It goes without saying” and then say it anyway?) the Environment is Important. Of course, it is! By golly...It is the Environment! What could be more important than the Environment!?
Something else that is important in today’s Politically Charged Landscape is Injustice, and when politicians want to line us up like Lemmings and lead us to the mountain top (or over the cliff), they latch onto Politically Charged Issues and Injustice is today’s Politically Charged Issue!
Don’t think that politicians are stupid just because they do so many stupid things. They are very practiced at being Smart Stupid because we are so practiced at being Lemming Stupid.
Here is what they have decided to dangle in front of us...
Environmental Injustice!
Gone is:
Ø Global Warming
Ø Climate Change
Ø Global Heating
Ø Greenhouse Effect
Ø Atmospheric Warming
Ø Climate Crisis
Ø High Global Warming Potential
Ø Warming of the Planet
Ø Change In Average Weather Conditions
Ø Change In Global Climate Patterns
Ø Climate Crises
Ø Global Temperature Change
Ø Increase In Temperature Of Lower Atmosphere
Ø Increase In The Earth's Atmospheric Temperatures
Ø Increase In The Earth's Oceanic Temperatures
Ø Shift In Worldwide Weather
All of the above (and many more) have been replaced with Environmental Injustice.
How efficient is that!
If our 9% Approval Rated Congress is anything, it is Efficient! ... Or is it?
OK. As I have said many times in the past, “If the horse is dead, get off the horse” and I’m done with this horse.
