The "Tipping Point" is Coming!

Fasten your seatbelts, we're off to the "Tipping Point." This reminds me of a film about a Black Hole a decade or two ago. The setting is a spaceship caught in a black hole vortex along with millions of suns and their now doomed planets. We watch subplots roll past as planet after planet disappears into the abyss. While life goes on, the end is certain. I guess that's the tipping point that enviro-extremists are now screeching about.

The Tipping Point is much like a point of no return. Go so far and there's not enough juice left to come back. It confuses me that the tippers are so called progressives. They really believe that anything they feel and experience is world shattering. And worse, they say that their feelings and the consequent demands must be supported by criminal laws and government power.

My problem is that I have a different Tipping Point than say Johnny Kerry or Al Gore. They are permanently tipped. Their every thought is connected to world tipping and to other unimaginable intentional damage to mother earth. Of course they will never end their entitlement to huge SUVs and dozens of houses and condos and private jets and so on. Only we the rabble need to let go of those dreams.

Before we can find our Tipping Point, we need a journey. So is the fact that earth is moving away from an ice age something to worry about? Maybe! But no intelligent person knows for sure. Should we respond to other's feelings and wants and political demands? Not by law or through extortion. Dah!
