David Suzuki is a Drama QueenHeh -- she nails it. The only people who listen to Suzuki are those that already "believe" and just want reinforcement of their stupidity. People with the scientific boots on the ground justifiably laugh him off as a crank. Suzuki is a public entertainer whose shtick is cultural Marxism dressed up in a pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. A hack. Posted by DaveH at June 9, 2011 8:18 PM
When David Suzuki, Canada�s most prominent environmental activist, looks out on the world he sees nothing but crises. We have a name for people who regard everything as a crisis � we call them drama queens.
While the rest of us approach challenges with determination, optimism, and faith in ourselves as problem solvers, drama queens see only worst-case scenarios. They exaggerate. They emotionalize.
If Suzuki had restricted himself to teaching kids about nature that would be one thing. But instead he has spent decades peddling political opinions about how society should be structured. He has advanced philosophical opinions about how everyone should live.
Year after year, in book after book and newspaper column after column, Suzuki has repeated the same message: Either we follow his personal road map to salvation or all will be lost.
Back in 1990 � 21 years ago � Suzuki�s It�s a Matter of Survival appeared on bookstore shelves. In dramatic fashion it declared:That�s quite a statement. I mean, the turning-point-for-human-civilization competition includes events such as the Fall of the Roman Empire and the Magna Carta. It�s likely that some of Suzuki�s readers were veterans of World War II. Did he really mean to imply to those people that the sacrifices their generation made to save the world from Hitler didn�t measure up to the really critical stuff he was certain was about to transpire during the 1990s?More than any other time in history, the 1990s will be a turning point for human civilization. (p. 1)
Two days ago a column by Suzuki was published by a Canadian news service (backup link here). It begins:Been there, heard that before.Humanity is facing a challenge unlike any we�ve ever had to confront. We are in an unprecedented period of change.
Agreed 100%! Suzuki is a corporate/government sell-out. A cultural marxist to boot. If I saw him and his daughter Laura mutilated in the streets, I would applaud the perpetrator. The only people who follow Suzuki are and pharisees.
