I'm sorry Stephanie, but if we're sad, it's in response to your severe and seemingly willful ignorance.
Stephanie??
Did you find any errors in any of my posts?
No?
What conclusion is the only possible result?

PoliticalShit reads nothing but creationist and farrightwingnut idiocy. She has never read a real science book in her life.
I have no difficulty believing that.
You seem to give no thought to the possibility that people might develop concerns about the Earth's environment out of a realization that the health of the environment is crucial to human well being and that it is under threat from numerous human activities. Do you think humans have never polluted the Earth's air and water? Do you deny the existence of smog and acid rain? How about the effects of strip mining, road construction, urban development, the burning of the world's rainforests, the extinction of once healthy species due to habitat destruction; are they all fantasies created by power-mad communists? Do the seas of incorruptible plastic trash floating in our oceans not exist? The brown haze that floats above every city of the planet - that blanket Beijing and Shanghai and force their tens of millions to wear masks and goggles to safely walk the streets - are none of these things real?
What is wrong with you?
" Just prior to the section of the speech that is quoted in [Al] Gore's book, Seattle states, “I have seen a thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie left by the white man who shot them from a passing train,” ...
12.The great chief could not have made such a statement.
a. To begin with, a single person could not have witnessed one individual shoot anywhere near one thousand buffalo from a passing train, given the speed of a train combined with the time that would have been needed to reload and fire a rifle used in 1854 (Not even Amtrak moves that slowly!).

The term "the white man" does not refer to an individual.
A very common thing to shoot buffalo from a train. Here's an account occurring before the transcontinental railroad existed.

I'm gonna stick with the theme of this thread....
The Marxist/environmentalist movement used the fake Chief Seattle rant to attack white folks, and capitalism, and- by extension- America.
You've been duped to accept doctrines designed to extend big government controls...the aim of every Leftist philosophy.
So....let's continue to find amusement in the propaganda with which you were so enthralled...
11. Perhaps the greatest blunder, one that is repeated to this day by the most ignorant, is noted in this section:

b. There also were no buffalo at the Puget Sound where Seattle lived. Seattle lived over a thousand miles from the Great Plains, and there is no evidence that he ever traveled to the plains.
c. Finally, the transcontinental railroad was not completed until 1869, and the Euro-American bison slaughter did not begin until the 1870s. Seattle gave his speech in 1854, a full 15 years before the railroad was completed and nearly 20 years before whites began to slaughter the remaining buffalo in large numbers. He, therefore, could not possibly have commented on it in his speech.
d. Finally, Seattle died in 1866, making it quite difficult — to say the least! — for him to have witnessed an event that occurred a full decade after his death." http://www.humanecologyreview.org/pastissues/her71/71abruzzi.pdf
Yet....because of how valuable the propaganda is to the Left, it is repeated ad infinitum.
This should make you aware of how you've been deluded.

Three glaring problems with your post.
1. I never lie.
2. Everything I've posted is correct.
3. You are a low-life fool, and incapable of an honest, correct post.
And as such, one whose talent suggests a future career, along the lines of selling Star Trek memorabilia on the internet.
Don't delay.
What is it about this forum that draws such idiots?
Very good question. I think the OP should read the book that actually started the modern environmental movement (Silent Spring, by Rachael Carson).
Actually, I have read the tome.
Everyone knows that Carson was as full of it as you are, you moron.
She was a danger to society....at least intelligent folks ignore you.
1. . British politician Dick Taverne was damning in his criticism of Carson:
Carson didn't seem to take into accountthe vital role (DDT) played in controlling the transmission of malaria by killing the mosquitoes that carry the parasite (...) It is the single most effective agent ever developed for saving human life (...)
Rachel Carson is a warning to us all of the dangers of neglecting the evidence-based approachand the need to weight potential risk against benefit: it can be argued that the anti-DDT campaign she inspired was responsible for almost as many deaths as some of the worst dictators of the last century.
Taverne, Dick (2005). "The Harm That Pressure Groups Can Do".
In Feldman, Stanley; Marks, Vincent. "Panic Nation."
a. Carson’s book was dismissed in ‘Science’ magazineas a “prosecuting attorney’s impassioned plea for action,” not a book based on scientific data.
I.L.Baldwin, “Chemicals and Pests,” Science, September 28, 1962, p.1042-1043.
Again? "...not a book based on scientific data."
b. “Sixty million people have died needlessly of malaria, since the imposition of the 1972 ban on DDT, and hundreds of millions more have suffered from this debilitating disease. The majority of those affected are children.”Bring Back DDT!
2. At it's heart, environmentalist is anti-human being. It sees humans as a virus, to be controlled and eradicated.
"Banning DDT saved thousands of raptors over the past 30 years, but outright bans and misguided fears about the pesticide cost the lives of millions of people who died of insect-borne diseases like malaria. The 500 million people who come down with malaria every year might well wonder what authoritarian made that decision." http://reason.com/archives/2004/01/07/ddt-eggshells-and-me/1
3. . “According to Marjorie Mazel Hecht and [San Jose State University] professor J. Gordon Edwards at 21st Century Home Page DDT is safe and indeed saved and can save human lives, and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring is full of lies. According to them, the banning of DDT was politically motivated and went against the majority of scientific opinion…. No one has conclusively proved that DDT can give you cancer.” The Straight Dope Was Rachel Carson a fraud and is DDT actually safe for humans

Your bogus OP got completely debunked in post #28, troll.
Oh, I missed reading your posts, Orogenicman!
First, one dunce claimed he never heard of the Chief Seattle speech...and then Soiled Undies wrote "most environmentalists have never heard of that speech."
Actually, this is the dance of the dupes, running from it when it was revealed as a hoax designed by the movement to advance their agenda.
Of course, it is simple enough to eviscerate their claims with this example.
Seems that there are many who have. This from "the Oregonian":
"A high-ranking federal official showed up in San Francisco a couple of months back and tried to sell some radioactive garbage to a gathering of American Indians. Naturally, he trotted out the Chief Seattle speech. What could be more appropriate to the audience of the topic? Chief Seattle's ringing defense of the natural environment is, after all, touted as one of the great 19th-century American Indian orations.
And David H. Leroy, the federal government's nuclear-waste negotiator, was talking to the National Congress of American Indians about storing nuclear waste on reservation land.
That, he argued, would protect the environment by concentrating waste in one
well-controlled dump.
Leroy's opening was a quote attributed to Chief Seattle that if you "continue to contaminate your bed, you will one night suffocate in your own waste."
Leroy went on to quote heavily from the rest of the speech, which consists of similar sentiments. In fact, Chief Seattle's words appear to be an uncanny forecast of modern environmentalist thinking. The speech touches on the sacred nature of the land, the connectedness of the ecosystem, the importance of living in harmony with nature and the white man's pollution of air and water.
[Here it comes!]
When Leroy borrowed from the speech, he didn't exactly break new ground. These days, the speech is popping up all over the place. Britain's Prince Philip has referred to it. So has the late pop mythologist, Joseph Campbell. And the Jehovah's Witnesses' magazine. And the KLM in-flight publication."
"PUTTING WORDS IN HIS MOUTH: CHIEF SEATTLE'S SPEECH RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT TREND TO ACCEPT WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR"
by Jack Hart, February 9, 1992, The Oregonian
Yup!
The bogus piece of Leftist/environmentalist propaganda is well known and regularly trotted out because it is designed to hit every talking point of the Left.
They can deny it exists, or its provenance, or that they never heard of it....but the very contrary is the truth.
And I love rubbing their faces in it.

well-controlled dump.
Leroy's opening was a quote attributed to Chief Seattle that if you "continue to contaminate your bed, you will one night suffocate in your own waste."
Leroy went on to quote heavily from the rest of the speech, which consists of similar sentiments. In fact, Chief Seattle's words appear to be an uncanny forecast of modern environmentalist thinking. The speech touches on the sacred nature of the land, the connectedness of the ecosystem, the importance of living in harmony with nature and the white man's pollution of air and water.
[Here it comes!]
When Leroy borrowed from the speech, he didn't exactly break new ground. These days, the speech is popping up all over the place. Britain's Prince Philip has referred to it. So has the late pop mythologist, Joseph Campbell. And the Jehovah's Witnesses' magazine. And the KLM in-flight publication."

Yup!
The bogus piece of Leftist/environmentalist propaganda is well known and regularly trotted out because it is designed to hit every talking point of the Left.
They can deny it exists, or its provenance, or that they never heard of it....but the very contrary is the truth.
And I love rubbing their faces in it.
And yet you can't find the wherewithal to respond to my post. Perhaps you are to busy obfuscating the issues. No surprises here.
