At the bottom of my admin screen, it states, “You are using a development version (2.6-bleeding). Cool!” That’s the test blog not this one. So far, it’s working. Not much different from 2.5 just some minor fixes. I blogged about it at some length there then took to the sofa and a cat nap with the kitties. Still nodding off.

Fell asleep before finishing this.

OK, now it’s finished.

Classical Values has the most interesting post about earth day and it’s relationship to certain persons’ birthdays and their value systems. It’s a must read if one is to make sense of my ramblings.

It made me think. Just what does going green mean to us? Moreover does being a vegetarian, animal lover, “attracted to nature mysticism and homeopathic cures, and staunchly opposed to vivisection and cruelty to animals” make one a better person? Does valuing animal life equal to or above human life make one a better person? Or does it make one an ecofascist?

“You can’t resist us kittycats.”

I imagine that were he alive today, Adolph and Al would have hit it off rather well both being “visionary environmentalists.”

What too does that say about our current environmentalist movement, the politically correct green movement, the global warming alarmists? Those that would save a spotted owl yet abort their own children? Now this is not to say there is anything wrong with being concerned with the environment. Just that some people have their priorities screwed up. After all, we were given stewardship over the earth.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:28

We were supposed to have dominion over the animals. Something must have gotten lost in translation here. Admittedly, if you read on, we were all initially vegans.

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

“And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” Genesis 1:29

That won’t wash as justification for the greens even if they put any stock in the Bible. Cause that all changed with Noah.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.” Genesis 9:1-3

So eat that steak and don’t feel guilty. You can still love your kittycats. I just don’t see the need to go to extremes that the environmentalists would have us do. We are a higher life form therefore should take precedence over the earth worshippers. Drill for oil in Anwar. We just might need it with oil topping out at $117.60 a barrel and gasoline $3.86 a gallon.

“You do love me dirty and all.”

Disclaimer: I do believe the Bible, I don’t believe Al Gore and am not a rabid environmentalist. I do love cats thou.
