Bernie Sanders And Climate Activists Blow The Whistle On Congressional Oil Corruption

Bernie Sanders And Climate Activists Blow The Whistle On Congressional Oil Corruption

 My comment on YouTube, Facebook and ClimateProgress.org:

By every measure of historical, moral, physical, intellectual standards, this is pitiful. Oh, these citizens have the right to do what they've done, legally. But McKibben hasn't the Moral right to hold himself up as some important leader, and at the same time act in a way that makes an entire mockery of the magnitude of the Environmental, Armageddon Doom that is all but certain unless people stand up now, today, with the courage of the 1920, 1930's blacks in this country, those like Steve Biko in South Africa, the 100's of thousands of young Egyptians just a year ago.... There is more at stake now, and the opposition is more vicious, criminally insane, powerful, and infinitely more hidden in the very fabric of western culture than ever the Earth has seen.

McKibben, you should be ashamed. You are not responsible for stopping this Armageddon. You are not responsible for who does or does not show up to fight. But as long as you hold yourself in the position you do, you need to measure up to the Bikos, Rachel Corries, MLK Jr's, Gandhi's, Wael Ghonim's in the COURAGE OF YOUR ATTEMPT, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

"Example is not the major thing in influencing people. It is the only thing." Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Recipient.

Can't you hear the shrieks of laughter of the oil lobby at this carnival? Can't you hear the outraged cry's for vengeance by the soon to be certain victims of our failure of attempt, of courage, of Heart, of Conscience, of goodness of the world's leader on this issue? Spitballs were never going to stop the evil of Hitler. He's child's play compared to this. Insanely Humane Unviolent action is our only hope. STOP THROWING SPITBALLS. Step up to the job, or get out of the way. Nature abhors a vacuum. If you at least step out of the way, we may fill it in time. At least we'll have a better chance. Better yet, STEP UP. Be willing to fail. BUT BE UNWILLING TO NOT TRY. sl
