Oil good; Dems bad

This is an explicitly political column from the 2000 presidential campaign, and an ignorant one at that - so how did it end up in my Asatru category? Because shining through Coulter's stupidity comes one simple paragraph that illustrates perfectly the essential difference between Heathenry (and any earth based, pagan faith) and Christianity:

The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view.

What could I possibly add to that? I'll be wearing my sweater this winter ...

Al Gore's idea of "standing up to 'Big Oil'" is for all of us to ride bikes and wear heavier coats in the winter. We're supposed to ratchet back our expectations so that we don't disturb some migratory bird by drilling for oil in Alaska.
