Sustainable Mother's Day Greetings and Felicitations
The Glasgow family hopes everyone had a "sustainable" Mother's Day (please see the following post!.) Maybe you were able to go to Whole Foods for a few organic things on which to munch (hopefully you brought your own cloth bag or bags so as to save the environment.) Please don't tell me your Mother's Day card was not constructed of recycled paper...we'll just assume you're sensitive enough to think of those things.
Our family correctly went to a seafood restaurant (no politically incorrect red meat for us...at least on this sustainable Mother's Day) wherein almost all of the Mother's Day fare was farm raised and didn't interfere with the endangered fish population of the world's oceans. (My, how I was lusting after Wild Pacific Salmon broiled on a cedar plank, but it wasn't offered on the special Mom's day menu. Ahem!)
Still, we had a wonderful Mom's day. It did seem a little strange that our honored Mom du jour, the wife of my youth and my beloved of 34 years, two precious kids, and one irreplacible son-in-law, all arrived at and left from my wife's favorite restaurant in five separate cars.
Seems we were all coming and going in vastly different directions and required lo, so many different gas-guzzling vehicles. Now, that was not sustainable!!! But we weren't really thinking "sustainability" because freedom loving folks don't live our lives thinking about "sustainability" because we cherish our freedom.
Our family of five came and went in five separate vehicles this afternoon because we had five different places we needed to go after our very special Mother's Day luncheon. Two of us had to go to Ft. Worth. One of us came up from Houston and none of us had to answer to anyone in order to do that.
There are actually people out there who object to what we did today. As freedom loving Americans, the Glasgow family doesn't really care whether or not some people disapprove of our "unsustainable" activities. In fact, I rather encourage these type of activities as long as we can afford them.
Unfortunately, it's those who adhere to the "sustainability" philosophy who want us to be energy dependent on thugs who gladly hold us "over the barrel"...(pun intended.)
It wouldn't have had to be this way. We are awash in energy! It's there for the drilling...at Anwar, off the coasts, in the gulf of Mexico, near Cuba, in the Dakotas and God knows where else. It's there for the geologists to find!
We could have been building nuclear energy plants around the country for the past 30 years. We could have been building refineries in key locations. But, no...leftist regulatory agencies have forbidden these activities and they will continue to forbid these activities.
Can anyone speculate why any one or any group would not want us to have energy independence?
