'EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES MUST BE SUBJECTED TO INVENTORY' - Pelosi said! [modified]
-
The premise is wrong to begin with. Any dictator can say "c02 is destroying the planet therefore...", "for the common good, therefore..." "therefore".. coming from the mouth of someone who has the power execute what she says, needs to be paid some attention.

1. Pelosi is not a dictator. She is the duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. 2. People can say what they like, but they can't get the scientific community to agree with them (unless they really have a dictatorial power that Pelosi certainly lacks). Having that agreement makes a difference.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

If by "mere navel gazing" you mean people taking inventory of their own lives, then that is certainly one reasonable interpretation of Pelosi's remarks. Another is that she is talking about scientific studies of a few willing subjects from which population data may be estimated, as per standard scientific practice. The interpretation that she is proposing close monitoring of the daily lives of every resident strikes me as certainly false.

Yeah right, government categorizing and inventory of every aspect of our lives. That doesn't require much more of an explanation.

Yeah, it does. Suppose you are right and Pelosi really does care about what color pajamas you wear, wildly improbable though that is. Surely she would never admit it. She would know it is political poison. Accordingly, it is not reasonable to expect her to admit it, even if it is true. That it is not reasonable to interpret her remarks as an admission. She must have meant something else.

Later, you suggest that she realises that a blatant statement of her intention to gain more knowledge about how everyone in the U.S. lives would be political poison. I agree. CSS makes the mistake of assuming she is as stupid as he is. On the other hand, because her words are subject to interpretation and can be spun as wholly innocuous but do not have to be taken that way AND because we are talking about a far left politician who has already demonstrated that she believes in the government having great power over its citizens, the possibility that she means exactly what Mike thinks she means approaches nine nines, in my estimation.

It doesn't look that serious. I want to see something that can get media coverage and stage public events. If it doesn't make a splash or poke the bear then it isn't strong enough.

"I do see this opportunity for climate change to be ... a game-changer," she said at Tsinghua. "It's a place where human rights — looking out for the needs of the poor in terms of climate change and healthy environment — are a human right." So in her definition human rights means welfare for the poor when business and the 'rich' are being screwed by carbon taxes (Cap & Trade and what have you) In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy Which means get children to believe all their lies and bullshit. "We have so much room for improvement," she said. "Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility." This makes my NWO conspiracy sound real to non-believers doesn't it? Think about how 20 years from now technology will be used against us. We probably don't have to wait that long. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hLcZ2jQ4mu4rd7XlB3hetiVn1qbAD98F32AG0[^]

Human rights generally means protecting the poor from the ravages of the rich. What rights do the rich need defended ?
