Cows Call Greenhouse Gas Charges Udderly Ridiculous

Cows Call Greenhouse Gas Charges Udderly RidiculousHere is a recent news release from Progressives for Immigration Reform.

Cows are uniting around the world to push back against claims that agriculture and animal husbandry need to be targeted to significantly lower greenhouse emissions. Translating for the cows, Kevin Lynn, Executive Director of Progressives for Immigration Reform said, “Cows are one of the most underappreciated groups in the world.  They aren’t the problem.  It’s people.  Population growth.  More people mean more cars, more infrastructure, more consumption, more electricity, more greenhouse gases.”

Moreover, Governments across the western world want to reduce fertilizer use by 50% which will also adversely impact cows. Leading cow intellectuals contend that “in 2020, nitrous Oxide (N2O) accounted for about 7 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.” The impact of farming is de minimis in the greater scheme of things. From a strategic standpoint it makes little sense to put 3,000 farms in the Netherlands, a country just a bit larger than the state of Maryland out of business given the result could lead to not only higher food costs – but famine!

For more than a decade, PFIR has represented the interest of cows and today proudly represents more than 94 million bulls, steers, cows and heifers. 

We must now ask ourselves where will the cows go when their farms are put out of business?

A study conducted by PFIR in ten major rural markets across America involving 1,500 cows found that less than 1% of cows drive SUVs, fly on jumbo jets or live in McMansions.  Cows have petitioned members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) which to date has refused to engage.  The WEF has openly promoted the notion that cows are creating more than their fair share of greenhouse gases. 

Lynn continued, “How much longer are unelected power brokers like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and activists like Bill Gates, going to milk this issue?  Human activity and U.S. population growth are fueling greenhouse gas emissions.  And population growth is driven by mass immigration.  You don’t see any cows crossing the border.”   

Cows contend that the lifestyle of humans such as those who jet off to attend conferences such as COP27 at ritzy resorts, along with an Open Borders agenda of too many, is what’s driving greenhouse gas emissions.  And they’re fed up with being blamed.  

“It’s time to show cows the appreciation they deserve and put the cow critics out to pasture,” said Lynn. “Reduce human activity.  Slow mass immigration.  Then we can all breathe a little easier.”

Defining Female In Swarthmore

Defining Female In Swarthmore

By Bob Small

There’s a cashier at our local Swarthmore grocery store,  puts up a handwritten sign that asks people to address him with a choice of feminine pronouns. Not wanting to be labeled “Transphobic”, I said nothing, feeling gobsmacked.

This person is someone I only have a customer/cashier relationship with and do not know in any other way. I did try once to call him “sis”, but I felt like I was pandering so now I call him “you”, like in see you.  I want to avoid being uncomfortable every time I buy groceries while at the same time I respect his right to self-definition, if that makes any sense.

This “uncomfortableness”, leads me to Vermont, where I have two friends, one long term and one newer and mostly electronic, who are frequently on opposite sides of the “Trans” issue. One of them is Trans.

First, of all, one note of explanation, the trans identifying 14 -year-old student, “Rabbit” whose presence in the girls locker room is what my generation would of called  “pre-op” or possibly even “transvestite” or, a “junior drag queen.”

Here’s some articles explaining the kerfuffle, keeping in mind that the Daily Signal is affiliated with the right-leaning Heritage Foundation

Vermont High School Under Fire Over Trans Student In Girls’ Locker Room

Vermont School District Suspends Father of Girl Who Pushed Back Against

Randolph high school backs down over transgender incident after ADF files lawsuit

Let us be clear that”Rabbit” was only doing what Vermont state law permits  “State Law allows the students to use locker rooms and bathrooms that align with their stated gender identity” 

For “Rabbit’s” version of the story, listen to this podcast which Marina was kind enough to send to me.

Travis Allen, father to one of the female complainers, was suspended from his position as Randolph Soccer coach for using a male pronoun to refer to “Rabbit”.

At one point, the girls who complained were scheduled for a “restorative circle” to understand the rights of “transgender students to access public accommodations in a manner consistent with their self proclaimed gender identity”. Then there’s Outright Vermont.

Returning to sleepy Swarthmore, I’m not afraid of being “flagged” from the store unless I use the correct pronoun but I am worried that Vermont (and other states) haven’t figured out ways to protect everyone’s rights.  Transgender students should have their rights respected but so should everyone else.  

The situation in Pennsylvania schools is more muddled and deserves a separate post.
