My City is Insane

Everyone supporting this should be required to give up all benefits of modern civilization and become an indigenous nomad. They can then enjoy their own company in the wilderness, communing with nature. A nature which maintains the right to kill you.

That is what I always tell those people, but they only want ME to change MY lifestyle.

I heard today that President Trump cancelled some bullshit climate change conference by the CDC. WTF does the CDC have to do with climate change? Anyway, the news report said there was no indication as to why the conference was cancelled. Ummm...I have a good idea.

Just like those protesting the pipeline: take away all of the products they were using made from petroleum, and they would have been wet and cold without much of anything.

In an attempt to prevent fracking, they wrote an idiotic resolution that gives any resident the (apparent but not actual) right to enforce against anyone who is accused of violating the right to a "healthy climate."

No law enforcement, no courts (due process), no resolution with conflicting state laws.

They outlined what enforcement could mean as "any person may enforce this law through nonviolent direct action" (should the city fail to enforce, which it will because it can't).

This means according to the city council it is legal to sabotage fracking operations but also slash your neighbor's tires, cut the power to a house, etc... Anything an envirowacko thinks is polluting can be targeted.

They truly are fools. I wonder if they were wearing Pussy Hats when they wrote this?

(c) Right to Enforce

. All residents of the City of Lafayette possess the right to enforce this law. To secure this right, entities which violate the people’s right to a healthy climate shall not be deemed to be “persons,” nor possess any other legal rights, privileges, powers, or protections which would interfere with the enforcement of that right.

Does this mean anyone breaking their law is not considered to be human? Can they be killed because they are not a person? If I break their law do I as a person just vanish? If a person breaks their law, and they are no longer a person, they cannot be sued since they don’t exist as an person?

...and I am tired of their crap.

I work with a couple of them, one of them drives a C-Max and just bought a Jeep Wrangler 4-door (a travesty in and of itself IMO). I haven't asked yet if it is an electric Jeep.

Yep...and following that you are stripped of any rights.

Seems appropriate:

People who support this should be chemically castrated.
