If you liked "Global Warming" and Climate "Change," you'll love "Sustainability."

Global warming had a mortal weakness.
It was testable. Sustainability does not suffer from the same fault. It need never meet reality.  No matter what any individual or organization does, its activities can always be labeled "€œunsustainable." This is because there is no definition of what sustainability is. It always means just what someone claiming to be more eco-holy than thou wants it to mean. True sustainability is a goal ever disappearing into the distance, one which can never be reached, but which must be pursued with ever increasing vigor --€” and funded by ever burgeoning taxes. -- Breitbart

Your Say

If you hear the word sustainable, you know you are being fed Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is just a simple little plan cooked up in the UN to enslave the proles. Don't believe me? Read this:

Indeed and everyone just loves to bring it up in all sorts of settings. Even guys who ought to know better because they aren't aware of its origin or purpose. You hear great chefs like Alton Brown talking about it and its just obnoxious because the principle of "sustainable food" is great the way they mean it - an ever replenishing supply of steady food sources that we don't tap out or overuse - but its just feeding into an agenda.

Damn, I thought that's what farms were for, growing more food.

Sure, but some foodstuffs we don't have farms for: tuna for instance. So I understand the idea of wanting to be careful not to overuse some food sources.

I propose a toast: "Here's to plain speaking and clear understanding".

Everyone else gets a good hard punch in the face for being pompous assholes and pedantic idiots.

We'll see how sustainable those teeth are, they be spitting 'em like Chiclets.
