Subjected to inventory…

“Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”

Those are Speaker Pelosi’s words,  and they ought to scare you spitless,  because she’s talking to the Chinese about combating climate change.    She also declared a healthy environment a human right,  and that governments would have to make decisions and choices based on science,  something neither she nor the Obama administration has any intention of doing.

“They also have to do it with openness,  transparency and accountability to the people,”  she said. ”  Everyone has to have their situation improved by it.”

If you still harbored the faint hope that the eco-Nazis wanted to heal the earth instead of increasing power,  this should disabuse you  of that quaint notion.

If you find the current level of government intrusion into your life a cause for concern,  just wait until liberals legislate themselves the right to tell you what vehicle to drive — oh, wait,  Obama is in the process of doing that.    Mark my words —  it will be less than 2 years before Congress cranks up standards  and regulations to such an extent that only government-owned manufacturers will be able to meet them.   If too many people try to hang on to their non-conforming vehicles,  there will be lawsuits against them for potential vehicular homicide,   since tiny cars invariably lose crash contests.    Democrats in Congress will nobly step forward to “protect” us environmental heathens and legislate the larger vehicles out of existence.  Except for theirs,  of course.

Meanwhile,  if your electricity comes from coal,  as it does in much of the Southeast  and elsewhere,  you will be forced to either pay exorbitant amounts for “cleaner” power,  or go back to candles and fireplaces  — no,  wood-burning fireplaces are already outlawed in California.    Perhaps they’ll let us burn vegetable peelings and rags,   and the upholstery from the cars we once drove.
