No Thank You, I’ll Stick to Hummers
Personally, I see no appeal in returning to the primitive lifestyles that the global warming zealots seem to be so enamored of. The green-weenies, as I refer to them, never seem to touch on even the most practical implications and repercussions from their insane proposals. How, indeed, does commerce thrive if it is slowed down to a crawl? Or a trot, by France’s measures.
French towns worried about fuel prices, pollution and striking transport workers need look no further than the horse.
Horses are a possible alternative for vehicles such as school buses and refuse trucks, say groups eager to pick up on global concerns about eco-friendly transport.
“It’s all about sustainable development and bringing some humanity back to today’s monotonous, machine-driven jobs,” Stephane de Veyrac, from the French National Stud Organisation, said at this week’s annual conference of French mayors.
De Veyrac’s group says it is the first in France to offer consulting on a wide range of horse-powered vehicles that could also haul bottles and aid street sweeping.

All I can say is that the new gods of secularism are far more draconian than their arch enemy, the Christian god. Having dominion over the earth and being good stewards doesn’t translate into a recommendation for living in the squalor that would result should these earth zealots have their atavistic way. Why the hell can’t we read headlines about the latest advances in colonizing the moon? Instead the hypnotized acolytes of Gore-ism, who have the audacity to classify themselves as some sort of “progressives”, herald the return of the horse. At least such nonsense has yet to be announced in America, but no doubt it will be.
To see a visualization of this grand equine conception ( what would PETA say?), see Fleethorse.com’s video here. I’m sure the folks at Fleethorse intend to be helpful, but in this case, good intentions do lead directly to hell.
