Environmental blogging - 2nd Amendment Style

Well let's see how this "environmental" stint goes. I'm going to try to write blog entries (for a few days at least) about "the environment" but put my own "2nd amendment spin" on it. Now that I think about it, the phrase "Second Amendment Spin" sounds like a fun way to say "rifling".

In just a few minutes (with the help my favorite search engine) I located this shocking evidence of environmental pollution.

Air pollution Senegal, 2005

The is a horrible example of wanton disregard for public safety (in the form of air pollution and toxic gases) in the Phillipines, 2007.

This is a picture of children in Sri Lanka in 2005 being encouraged to build fires and create unhealthy air pollution.

This is air pollution in Uganda. Note that several of these fires have not even been "contained" in a fire retardant bunker but have merely been set ablaze where a child could easily run into them.

This smaller picture (the tower of burning guns) is more air pollution in Rio de Janiero.

But if anybody should be outraged over all this needless air pollution, it should be the people of Cambodia.

"[Locals surrendered] weapons to the local authorities in exchange for 20 community-owned water wells."

The iansa (International Action Network on Small Arms) has been a long time supporter of the "air pollution for clean drinking water" exchange program. Even when not using some excuse like "clean wells" the iansa has been working hard to spread air pollution to many third world countries.

Haven't these people ever heard of Al Gore? Put out the fires already, the planet is hot enough!

Of course I am expressing my opinion very tongue in cheek. I am much more worried about an international organization that wants to take away a woman's right to defend herself (iansa) than I am about a little air pollution. And the whole "guns are evil" idea does nothing to help us teach the next generation about personal responsibility.

Thank God for the Second Amendment, I'll see you at the range!
