Can you provide a link to Matthew Yglesias’s barren world view?

I was enlightened a while ago about cities accounting for a statistically significant variance in the heating equation: Global warming. I thought that was very interesting insight, as the city, over-crowded Calcutta, is where the progressives want us all living, piled atop one another.

He’s indifferent to the outside world, prefers highrises to trees and, presumably, mountains. So yes, liberals really couldn’t care less about the birds & the trees & the pollinating bees. I suppose the skyscrapers will save us from global warming. Go ahead and put a hundred on Martha’s Vineyard today.

I certainly hope that mysterious lady in the photo, with the bee sign & the big sunglasses, will make it into the Gallery Section of this website.

Naw, not with the commandment of to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Now if the Ten Commandments had Rabbi Hillel’s suggestion to do not unto others instead of the do unto and the love thy neighbor as commandments the statists would just use the illogical argument of the inquisition: I must kill you to save you. Statists have no life except to live through others. Impossible for them to find harmony in the natural world which, frankly does not give two hoots about you or me.
