I was disturb by something yesterday...(insert Joke here) yea, yea....
I read something about an Austrailian Article and these retarded Carbon Credits.....Well here it is for your digestion.....
"However, in the meantime, a rather striking proposal has been published in the Medical Journal of Australia. According to news reports Barry Walters, an associate professor of obstetric medicine at the University of Western Australia reckons that families opting for more than a defined number of children should be hit with a carbon tax. Conversely condom and sterilisation costs should be awarded carbon credits.
Dr Jack Pezzey concurs with the general idea. A senior fellow at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, figuring that population growth accounts for over half of the country’s growth in energy-based emissions, says, “... if you want to control total emissions you cannot ignore total population growth. You simply have to admit that it's part of the problem."
Another backing the proposal is Garry Egger, an adjunct professor of health sciences at Southern Cross University in New South Wales. "Population control seems to have gone off the rails in the last 30 years," he said. "It's almost forbidden to talk about it these days. It's almost like smoking - you have to go out in the alleys to talk about it.”
Yet, as of next year, the Australian Federal Government will be giving families a one off payment of $5,000 per new born baby. Dr Egger feels that after two children however, parents should be instead paying a carbon tax."
Now what Bothers me is that I have also heard that China believes that since they have Forced Abortions they should get Carbon Credits for every baby aborted.
There is something Very wrong with this Thinking.....it is going down a Road we don't want to go....
Once a Life is Given a value as a Carbon Credit or Charged a special tax for basicly Breathing, it opens a pandora's box of future wrong doing.
Next they'll decide that once your too old and useless that for the sake of the planet you must die so someone else can have your carbon credit. Or if a child is born with Special Needs, they will put it to death so that their carbon Credit can be given to someone that won't be considered a drain on society. This Reeks of the Good Old Facist Ideology of a Master Race....
We do not need to Go Down this Road, I refuse to Go down this Road. The Dangers are overwelming, the Benefits...illusionary......
What Kind of World have we become to decide that a Human Life is less important than......a Carbon Credit?

"But war, in a good cause, is not the greatest evil which a nation can suffer. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice – a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice – is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other." - John Stuart Mill
