Unintended Consequences

Environmentalists must be awful chess players -- they can't seem to think more than one move ahead. They are totally clueless about the negative affects their policies have. For instance, most of the homes lost in California wildfires burned down because of laws that prevent people from clearing brush around their homes. And now, the United Nations says it's having trouble feeding people because the drive for biofuels is making food too expensive.
Rising prices for food have led the United Nations programme fighting famine in Africa and other regions to warn that it can no longer afford to feed the 90m people it has helped for each of the past five years on its budget.

Well, LR, one of the characteristics of Liberalism is the fact that it's subscribers cannot think anything out to it's logical conclusion...

I've been saying that for years...
