“curing the biosphere of the human virus will require a radical and invasive approach”

Killing you to cleanse the planet: part of the "Green Plan."

—at least, so argues “conservationist” Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who, let me add, might better have illustrated his point had he leapt from a rooftop rather than expending the hot air necessary to cast himself in the role of public neo-Malthusian.

But then, isn’t that always the way with these reformers?

And Watson is not alone: as with any religion—and make no mistake, the Green movement is a secular religion that is every bit as exacting as the more fundamental of its metaphysical counterparts—we are beginning to see, within “conservationist” circles, a new strand of asceticism, albeit one that is coupled with a troubling desire for mass enforcement of its principles (as well as a notable lack of willingness, on the part of these new “prophets,” to take their own advice and off themselves; so in that sense, they mirror terror leaders) by way of social engineering of the kind that, when Hitler tried it, was called, you know, genocide.
