Forgive the aggressive title, but what else to say about this non-brainer? This stunt really does not motivate not to start a rant on America. I know that it is only a part of the population, nevertheless the ammount of stupidity and unscrupellousness in this campaign is breathtaking. If the european discussion on energy saving light bulbs I see as hysteric and hectic actionism missing the centre of the problem, then this Belch Day is straightout braindead, and compares to the last uncontrolled convulsions of a dead body whose head has been cut off, while the dead face is still grinning.
Why I said unscrupellousness? Because by random chance, and no intention of course, it is taking place at the same day congress will have a main debate about the Climate Security Act.
Once again lobbies and brutal egoists who do not mind for a world and generations that need to live on after they themselves have died, have flexed their muscles and spend a lot of money to start a campaign to influence public opinion and people's minds. As the president of this campaign put it: in order to free their minds from the guilt Al Gore tried to harass their lives with.
Well, that Al Gore is an evil wacko, as we all know, right!? Compared to him, George Bush is a saint.
Kierkegaard once wrote:
"It happened that a fire broke out backstage at a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was just a jest and applauded. He repeated his warning, they shouted even louder. So I think the world will come to an end amid general applause from all the wits, who believe that it is a joke.” - CO2 Belch Day, and the way climate debates are being distorted, are perfect illustrations for how damn right Kierkegaard was.
I think stupidity is a highly infectous desease, and patients should be put under strict quarantine.
