Bob Inglis does Kanbra…

Bob (Robert) Durden Inglis, Sr. (born October 11, 1959) — is a youngish politician who was the U.S. Representative for South Carolina's fourth congressional district from 1993 to 1999 and again from 2005 to 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party. 

In 2012, He launched the Energy and Enterprise Initiative, a “nationwide public engagement campaign promoting conservative and free-enterprise solutions to energy and climate challenges”. It is based in George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. He is building support for energy policies that are based on “conservative principles of limited government, accountability, reasonable risk-avoidance, and free-enterprise". All these issues are quite contradictory but he is “forgiven” for dreaming about blue skies, in a retrograde party.

Away from Washington, Inglis resides with his wife and their five children on a small farm north of Greenville. He is a member of the Redeemer Presbyterian Church. I see. 

IN Kambra today, at the Press Club, Bob promoted a lot of contradictions in forked tongues contributing to the Empire Babel Tower. 
“Faith and science can mix” he suggested. 
I say Rubbish. 
Faith is dogmatic, science is investigative. Faith is set in silly beliefs that don’t make any sense, science is always doubting itself and refining its experiments to get closer to reality. 
In regard to sciences, Inglis talked about trust in scientists, like trusting your doctor. "You have high blood cholesterol so take Lipitor” says the doc. You trust the advice but forget to ask the real source of your predicament nor asks questions about diet, exercise and entertaining crap-drugs. 
Meanwhile the Lipitor uptake leads to yet another person, you, hooked on another big Pharma’s produce till you die. They love you. The drug might work and it works because 50 per cent of the solution is that YOU believe in Lipitor because you trust your doctor. But Lipitor can have side effects: constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, fatigue, gas, heartburn, headache, muscle pain, and rhabdomyolysis. Contact your doctor, especially if you experience confusion or memory problems, fever, dark urine, increased thirst or hunger, drowsiness, loss of appetite, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Some of the side effects are underplayed, such as making you cranky, nasty and irritable, because you’re always cranky, nasty and irritable…
Trying to adapt a bit of science into religious beliefs is worse than trying to force square pegs into round holes. It does not work. Mind you, many religious people have tried and will try to adopt simplistic sciences into their godly bosom, so that they don’t feel left out of modernity. This is where you end up with “creationists” and “intelligent design” idiotic adherents, including terrorists at the extreme end of the spectrum trying to oppose anything challenging their stupid dogma. 
Another absorbing con trick was performed five centuries ago when Michelangelo painted Roman gods on the ceiling of the sistine chapel. This was done to “corner” the spirituality market in a changing social understanding of our real status which is an intelligent monkey society on planet Zorgyksi. It is the same today. We believe in god and in sciences without understanding either.
So we need to trust the scientists… But there are “scientists” who promote opposing viewpoints. So which ones do we trust more on “global warming”? Those with the loudest, biggest mouth who promote denialism or those who have problem being heard and who crunch data that is boring and hard to fathom on a good day.
Bob’s “optimism” about “climate change solutions” is related to a self-flagellant who feels the pain but knows it will give him/her a ticket to paradise. The more pain, the more paradise. Reality does not work this way. It’s idiotic, though one can feel elated and floating above ground like a transcended guru once the pain stops. I do this anti-pain trick at the dentist with no anaesthetic. Once the drilling stops, I don’t touch the ground. The brain fills with self-generated opiates, but this may not happen if your cholesterol is too low, as you become cranky, nasty and irrational under a regimen of Lipitor. Optimism is not even a mirage.
Inglis’ demographic ideals that lead to his misplaced optimism is based on false data about the youth. He hopes that the youth, the religious ones he knows I suppose, demand better solutions to global warming than we have so far provided. Good for them, despite the god delusion… But Inglis would be surprised to know that a greater percentage of selfie-taking youth prefer Donald Trump than we do, us, the cranky oldies who went through the previous historical madness, from WWII to last week’s Donald decrees. 
We can hope that Bob’s concept of conservative and private free-enterprise solutions to energy and climate challenges in a limited government, with accountability and a reasonable risk-avoidance would work — but we know it won’t. Bob must believe in his own head that there are no sharks in the water out there. If this were the case we’d all be in Paradise already. No need to complete this stupid godly test of the original sin. We’re all good. Boom. Wrong. So, in reality, there are con men and women on stage. And plenty of them ready to exploit the system today while preparing to burn the place down tomorrow and take over. 
To some extend this represents most of us, should we be given the chance to skip our burdensome civic duties. We are deceitful beings. We cheat. Including Inglis. Only strict rules and strong governmental input can save us from ourselves. Even games have rules. Yes, we can invent better mousetraps, but this is limited and not the point. On a global level we need proper direction by decree. We need to help science develop better models, not try to garrotte the bearer of real bad news. We need big bold policies. We need to stop anything that adds extra CO2 into the atmosphere. Simple.
At the moment, the Donald is a regressionista on sciences and climate change issues. He sold these ideas to a lot of people, including THE unsatisfied YOUTH who have had enough of the sweet lies from the other side. The Youth should always be unsatisfied, but always maintain ideals of equality, fairness and peace that are now the forgotten ideals of the “left”. These days more than half the youth is more conservative than Ghengis Khan, while the others, basically unemployed due to the previous administration, are hypocritically protesting for not having got their female warrior as the head-princess. Many of them see reality as a Halo II game. 
You are allowed to worry. 
Not so strangely, The Donald told everyone what he was going to do. And as President, he is trying to do what he said. He hardly lies. Even his alternative facts are trivial matters, not even worthy of a small increment on pinocchio’s nose, that he uses to justify what he promised to do, during his campaign.
Everyone on the left is saying that “oh, you can’t do this” to which Le Donald says: “yes I can, I told you I was going to do it…” Stupid? Yes, but no lie.
So on the global warming front and the EPA, The Donald is pulling all the stuffing out of sciences. Most Republicans and a lot of the populace applaud. Bob Inglis is isolated on this score and can do nothing about it, considering that a) he voted for Trump and b) all his own mates love Donald for destroying what “is a communist plot to overtake the planet” and that El Donaldo is in favour of making a buck rather than save the small Gonioladi frog habitat that is in the way of progress.
Fake news outside science rules. Religions are fake news. So Bob Inglis has been victim of his own political and religious rhetoric. He believes in what he wants to believe, not what is real out there — even if he wants to promote the idea that one can make money out of providing small solutions to global warming. This is tinkering on the edges, like selling three embroidered aprons to save a private school in debt of $15 million. It ain’t going to do it. We need BIG. It’s a big planet.
Sure, I’d like small business to save the day. We all know that this is a pipe dream because without BIG BUSINESS’s steamrolling deceit and indecent push for profits, small business which often is a parasitic derivative of big business would die. Or panic into burning the place down by trying to do the right thing. In the ugly capitalism structure, small businesses are strongly dependent of the success of big businesses. 
Inglis, like a false prophet, talked with zeal about half-baked ideals, in Kambra. Nothing new in this city that grew from a grand dream and ended up a dreary half-baked solution. Autumn is nice. The colours of the trees hide a lot of ugly or ordinary buildings while ugly policies steam in the big thingster from lying politicians, on the hill. Without the lying politicians, Kambra would die…
It could be a good thing, unless that city becomes totally clean and only uses renewable energy. May be it does already.

And Halo 2 should teach the kids about global warming and ... Ah shit... this is too much to ask...
