It's one of the right's only consistent principles anymore, but it covers almost everything they do.<br /><br />Of course, the prime movers in this are making money off of not changing the status quo. Oddly enough, if the heads of McHugeCo were more proactive, they could leverage their power and money to get control of alternative energy markets ( it seems China and India are moving this way) and dominate the field, increasing their own profits in the long run.<br /><br />However, Change takes effort, and risk.

The Rich Boys have the same resistance toward allowing the proles to have a little more money, when it is demonstrable that the rich do better when they share the wealth. I don't understand the mentality, but then I ain't rich. <br /><br />In any case, I love the Waterboys.zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-37388784422926755052010-02-23T16:13:11.482-05:002010-02-23T16:13:11.482-05:00My mom is a big talking-point spewer.

As Brett pointed out at Riddled "What if we made the world a better place, for nothing?" These people do not want to make it a better place and seem keen to make it worse.<br />It is rooted in "For us or against us" bushism.

Basically he was being a contrarian, and reacting to the consensus that had emerged by then about global warming.
