A LITTLE CHAT ABOUT CLEAN AIR AND MONEY...
ENGLARGE THIS TO READ THE CREDITS. THE TEXT IS IN GERMAN AND QUOTES HANS-CHRISTIAN-ANDERSON. IF THERE IS A LINGUIST WHO HAS THE DESIRE TO TRANSLATE THE TEXT, PLEASE DO SO AND LEAVE IT IN A COMMENT BOX. NO WEIRD TRANSLATIONS FROM WOULD-BE-JOKESTERS. OKAY, LET ME TRANSLATE IT FOR THE PUBLIC:
"GRANDPA, WHY IS OUR HEATING BILL TWICE AS HIGH AS IT WAS LAST YEAR," THE LITTLE LAD INQUIRED.
"WELL, WOLFGANG, IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH A LAW THAT THE GOVERNMENT PASSED THAT IS GOING TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM THE MOTHERLAND INTO A NATION WHICH WILL WILL SERVE TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW WE CAN TAX THE INDUSTRY RIGHT OUT OF OUR COUNTRY SO LITTLE LADS LIKE YOU CAN GROW UP IN A NATION FREE OF CO2 AND POLLUTION," THE OLD GENTLEMAN RESPONDED.
AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OF SILENCE, THE YOUNG LAD LOOKED UP INTO HIS GRANDFATHER'S BLUE EYES (YES, BLUE EYES BECAUSE HE WAS OF ANGLO STOCK AND VERY PROUD OF BEING OF ANGLO STOCK) AND ASKED HIM A VERY PROFOUND QUESTION BASED ON WHAT HE HAD LEARNED IN ONE OF HIS CLASSES AT THE NEARBY SCHOOL AND ACADEMY. "THAT IS ALL WELL AND GOOD, GRANDPAPA, BUT WHAT IF A VOLCANO ERUPTS IN THE CARIBBEAN OR SOME SOUTH SEAS ISLAND AND SPEWS OUT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MAGNA PARTICLES AND ALL OF THAT STUFF? WHAT I MEAN IS, HOW DO WE HAVE THE GUARANTEE THAT THIS WON'T HAPPEN. IF IT DOES, ALL OF THE EFFORTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS WILL BE IN VAIN, RIGHT?
GRANPAPA CHUCKLED AND TOLD WOLFGANG A TRUTH THAT THE LAD WOULD LEARN SOON ENOUGH: "WOLFY, YOU ARE A YOUNG BOY WITH SOME REAL COMMON SENSE. NOW, LET ME TELL YOU THAT IF SUCH A THING SHOULD HAPPEN, THOUGH IT WILL FOUL THE AIR FOR YEARS TO COME, THE POLITICIANS WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THEIR AGENDAS ANYWAY.
"AND WHAT IS THAT, GRANDPAPA?"
"THEY WILL HAVE ALL OF THE MONEY THEY COLLECTED ON BILLS LIKE THE CAP AND TRADE TO USE FOR THEIR FRIENDS AND OTHER FRIENDS TO ASSURE THEM OF A CONTINUED CONTROL OF THE NATION'S GOVERNING BODY. YOU WILL LEARN ALL OF THESE THINGS AS SOON AS THEY INVENT THE TELEVISON AND THE INTERNET," HE WHISPERED WITH SPARKING BLUE EYES.
AMERICANS CRAVE HIGHER UTILITY BILLS. PLEASE, BILL US MORE ASAP!
Look forward to higher utility bills, a national sales tax and numerous other expenses in order to make the world a better place to live and breathe. Why worry about those who cannot eat as long as they are starving to death in a clean air environment free of asbestos. We have already seen how anxious the rest of the world is to clean up the air. Like do they really give a damn? But we will cut defense in order to make the world a greener place to dwell. If anyone can explain this rationale, try it. It makes no sense whatsoever. Why do i want to pay twice the utility bill so the population in china can breathe cleaner air when they are not willing to adopt all of the environmental baggage that pelosi took to china.
