The "Green" Future

clipped from proteinwisdom.com

I’m 55, my late grandparents born in the infant years of the 1900’s and my parents growing up during the Depression. It wasn’t that long ago I participated in a management training class and used as an example of frugality the practice of “darning” and almost half the class had no clue what I was talking about.

Look. Look close at the picture to the right. That is the picture of an American who had only a small carbon footprint upon the American land. Women didn’t work outside the home because they were discriminated against but household duties were full time. Electricity was limited so no washing machines or dryers. No refrigerators.

Look at the woman at right — she is 32 years old in that picture. If nothing else, the Democrats hysterical rush to return to the artificially prolonged era that produced her should give most American women pause.

Is this the “green” future they really want to return to?
