Is this a threat to the supply of our natural resources or the environment?

We Answered:

So first off, it'll be helpful to realize that humans aren't really separate from the environment; we're part of it. So the issues is both "how much" waste and "what type" of waste we produce.

When thinking about a product that you bought (as opposed to one that you made yourself), there's a lot of things you didn't see: the extraction of the raw materials (and whatever effect that had), the production of the product (and the waste produced there), and the distribution of the product (and the fuel burned to do so plus run the store).

The extraction of some materials results in toxic byproducts (like lead, mercury, that sort of stuff). Production results in toxic byproducts (dioxins, POP's, etc, etc, etc). Distribution usually contributes to climate change (burning of fossil fuels).

The product you buy *might* result in less of these harmful contributions to the Earth's ecosystem.

After you bought it, however, there's still the question of what happens when it goes down the drain. Some products bio-degrade into toxic chemicals. Some do not. Ideally, you'd buy a product that did not. That would be better for the ecosystems of the Earth.

What is a true conservative?

We Answered:

The principals of Conservatism are spelled out in the Constitution and the founding documents. It's really that simple. As far as the previous answerer, many of those views are Republican before Conservative...

1. Low, fair and flat taxes...yep
2. Lower Government Spending...yep
3. Less government...pretty much
4. Schools best run on the local level...any power not listed to the federal govt is state government issue
5. English should be the official language...technically no...but that is what the founders believed.
6. Military is necessary and probably the biggest responsibility of government...absolutely
7. Free trade (no barriers or tariffs)...not in the Constitution
8. Right to Bear Arms...Absolutely
9. Support for the Death Penalty.State issue
10. No legalization of Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroine, or other drugs...State issue
11. No abortions - (don't mention about the death penalty)...State issue
12. Anything not spelled out in the Constitution is a state issue

There is a difference between Conservatives and Republicans. A conservative wants a simple government that is not over reaching and intrusive especially in personal freedom issues like gay marriage or abortion. These are issues that should be regulated by the state and not the federal government.

How long will it take for conservationism to truly become conventional wisdom and not only a leftist view?

We Answered:

Venussupercluster:
"We already know that we are destroying our environment while depleting resources. How soon is it until we reach critical mass with our overconsumption, which will then require us to conserve?"

Knowing conservatives for fifty years now, I'd say they will not only learn, but be forced to do something about it and actually start conserving... about two years after all life ends on this planet.

Suspendor::
"I just don't go along with the media jihad against capitalism that uses environmentalism as a red herring to push us all into poverty."

What we currently have is "capitalism" like what the Titanic had was needing a paint job.

What I hear you saying is:

1.) "We're not giving up our Greed until about five years after the last molecule of oxygen is gone from this planet."

2.) "It's the left-wing media that has taken us from a half-trillion dollar surplus in 2001 to an eight-trillion dollar deficit now. My party and George Bush had nothing to do with it."

The so-called liberals were little better. They were just killing us with greed at about one-tenth the speed.

That's why the only true democrats left are the Green Party. Oddly enough, we're the only party left that doesn't put cash first and the environment and starvation a very distant second.. or fiftieth, or whatever. Still, if I had a choice between only the two major parties, I'd go with the one who left us with a surplus and who only sold us down the river to Big Business nine out of ten times... It's better than less than nothing.

And at least their lies are something in almost the same Galaxy as reality.

Burnthehive:
"To give my response plainly: we are in no danger of overwhelming the environment and this unscientific hysteria will do us /no/ good.

Source(s):

"A myriad of science courses, textbooks and related literature."

Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Richard Mellon Scaife are hardly "Myriads of science courses, textbooks, and related literature."

Thanks for providing a living example of my "And at least their lies are something in almost the same Galaxy as reality."

I couldn't have done it better myself.
