I don't even know where to start.

That tirade is so full of false premises, that it would take me three pages to dissect it.

The most obvious is you apparently don't know collectivism when you see it. Maybe I need to write a post called "Abstract Thinking For Dummies." If you think collectivist economics isn't an issue any more, in China, Europe, South America, or elsewhere, you might want to check your terminology. Even Cuba has a lot of people who look to it as a great example of how to run a nation, even in the U.S.

And if you think collectivist societies are old hat, take a closer look as radical Islam. Think in abstract principles, not details.

Basically, your post seems to shave itself down to the usual leftist justifications for why it's right and proper for the Rest Of The World to loot the wealth of the one country that is most responsible for a lot of them having wealth in the first place. Or being an independent nation, for that matter.

At least you seem to accept my premise that the global warming issue is, in fact, just the latest in a long line of justifications for looting the West. You're just saying we had it coming.
