Gotta love the closing quotation in a Sunday Times article posted on MyBroadband about the latest scandal to rock the SABC:
“We would like it to be taken into consideration that the nature of certain of the allegations in the report involving us may be phrased in a particular way to create atmosphere.”
Whatever, dude. I’m sure the R1.9 million you’re alleged to have scammed from the SABC will pay for air conditioning.
Try telling a greenie that environmentalism is a sort of secular religion, in which we are sinful and worthy of nothing better than death. Try pointing out the startling sociopathy inherent in fantasies of an afterlife without people to sully the purity of the Virgin Earth Mother. Spluttered protests of innocence are all you’ll get. Yet despite remonstrations that they’re all for human beings, the theme resurfaces time and time again. Humans aren’t part of the ecosystem, symbiotically participating in the evolution of life. Theirs aren’t lives worth celebrating, achievements worth honouring and innovations worth admiring. Humans are parasites, sucking the life out of the planet. Like children, wishing for release from the pressure and complexity of the world, they stamp their feet and scream, “I wish I’d never even been born!”
