Conservatives...lets have a heart to heart...
as humans why are regulations on making coal and natural gas more clean a bad thing?
Why should we think nature will "take care of itself?"
Why is it ok to strip mine the land to death?
Why is looking for alternative energy a bad thing?
Why shouldn't we think that humans are the only species that matters?
Now personally...I'd like to think that I wasn't just a "liberal"...I think that I'm someone who can be swayed by�competing�claims and will support whatever idea proves itself and its utility. I would like to think that I wouldn't just naturally flock to the "liberal" side...that I tried to weight the balance of the argument and not pick the one that the most black people were choosing, or my friends/family, or my employer...but because I felt it was the thing that would benefit more people, or would lead to greater overall prosperity...
but. for the life of me, I disagreed with literally everything Rick Santorum said...On top of that, he managed to contradict himself by saying initially that the government wanted to impose regulations, but then admitted to having government positively�enforce�regulations on energy production at the end of his speech.
Is it naive of me to think that just because "god" gave us the earth that then we're free to trash the place? I mean we still gotta live here. Is it wrong to want cleaner air and water? Is it wrong to instead of drilling domestically, to not drill at all and look for alternative sources of energy?�
I dont know if I'm seeing things the wrong way here...but I do know that if disagreeing makes me a liberal...then I guess I'm a liberal.
