#1 He's right. This is what the Environazis want. We should slow down the economy to what it was in, say 1850 - before internal combustion engines, air travel, electricity, modern sanitation, modern health care, central heating, air travel, etc.
Of course, many people died before they were 40, it took months to go a few hundred miles, the streets of large cities were covered in horse manure, the stench was unbearable. But that is a small price to pay for saving the planet.

#2 You and your ~~shrew~~ wife FIRST, Slick.

YOU start staying home or taking public transportation, move to a MUCH smaller house, give up jetting around the world with your rich ~~suck-ups~~ buddies. Give up at least half (better, all) of your Secret Service protection and all the "carbon footprint" they entail. YOU give up all your "jobs" and your money and live like the peasants.

Or STFU. Asshole.

Nobody can count that high, Darrell.

#10 Geeze, I depend on Rantburg for views and stories I don't normally get to see. But this, and the fact that you have bought it...rather surprises me.

The following paragraph was the real Meat of what he was saying:

"But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world's fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work."

Now you can agree with this or not...but direct misquoting should be a no-no. What Bill actually said was not insane.

Just sayin`
