If you get the chance, take a look at what happened when environmental activists convinced South American governments to remove chlorine from their drinking water supply because it was going to cause everyone to have cancer. Dystopia is the Sancho Panza of the green movement.

I’m just tired of all this holding forth about washing sheets and vacuuming — the moral certainty of some of this b.s. is just unbearable.

You outlined the problem perfectly. Groups such as Beyond Pesticides sound convincing, but they are not involved in resolving the problem! They are armchair philosophers who have somehow become “experts” in fields in which they do not compete.

I have decided that we need a new bureaucracy. I know…I know….it seems a bit shocking for me to suggest such a thing, but ….yes, a new bureaucracy with regulations outlining what will allow someone to become a social activist is clearly what we need. We can call it the Activists Bureau under the U.S Department of Commerce…since that department seems to do very little for a great deal of money this will at least give the impression that they are worth it. Here are some suggestions.

1. Require protesters to have started their own successful companies before we allow them actively involve themselves in public protests of other businesses.
2. Having started businesses that fail will not count.
3. Require animal rights activists to start businesses that require them to feed the world or develop medicines without animal testing.
4. Having failed will disqualify this person as an activist.
5. We can require anti-energy protesters to start businesses that provide electricity to millions of people without any of the means currently being used. Nor will presenting future possible inventions that may possibly be invented at some future possible date count as a qualification to protest.
6. Anti-pesticide activists must be operating a successful business that provides the following;
7. Actual protection from disease carrying pests without registered or non-registered pesticides or chemicals in general.
8. Provide protection for homes without registered or non-registered pesticides or chemicals in general against all the things we currently provide services for.
9. Must be able to grow enough food to meet the same capacity that is currently enjoyed in this country. This must be done with the same amount of landmass without fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.
10. This all must be accomplished without grant money from any source or tax incentives of any kind from the government.
11. Not meeting these criteria will disqualify the person as a registered activist with the “Activists Bureau”.
12. If they meet the qualifications and are successful in their protest against any company or system, the activists must be willing to undertake to provide the same service, product or whatever it is that they have overturned.
13. This must be done without using any of the means they have protested against.
14. Failure to protect, feed or provide the services promised by the activist will require the activist to be liable to criminal and/or civil litigation.

Failure to be willing to meet this final requirement will require them to “just be quiet.”
