Saving the world.

Humans…

Well, Americans in particular, have this notion that we can save the world.

I love it. LOVE IT, PEOPLE! I love that we are economically sound enough to think about more than ourselves and save the gorgeous earth God gave us. Those who suffer to provide for their most basic human needs don't have much time to think of how to save the world. And we are so blessed that I believe we have a responsibility to think these issues through.

But follow me as I take you on a quick logical trip.

1. Nothing beats the beauty that God gave us.

2. Nothing is much uglier than a polluted city.

3. In the most recent presidential elections, almost all major cities had a popular vote for President Obama.

4. President Obama is a liberal democrat.

5. Generally, liberal democrats are the ones pushing the government agenda to save earth.

6. So… The people living in the ugly cities are the ones saving earth? Or at least trying to enact laws to protect it?

Is this notion not ironic? That they (Save The World federal lawmakers) live in some of the most condensed, ugly portions of our country, have the most limited view of what they say they are trying to save with their laws, and yet… We listen, or ignore when in reality, we need to enact less law and more effort on saving this world.

I love this earth and the creatures who inhabit it. But I also believe that a limited, small, conservative federal government is the best for this country. Have your liberal, world-saving laws enacted in your community government.

Let my federal government alone. Please. But also, be responsible. There are those who would lose their limbs for the freedom and wealth you have. Remember that. Save the world.

Save the world through effort, not law.
