Bottled water is destroying the environment? Okay, I am getting really confused  because wasn’t it just a few years ago that bottled water was critical. After all public water facilities were ill equipped to provide safe drinking water. Now, this appears to be switching, so now we must toss out the ancient, pure water that can only found in France and bought at the grocery store. They say replace it with? While tap water of course.The fact is this is just another in a long list of ridiculous flip flops by those who desire to protect the environment. Not so long ago, it was plastic bags at the grocery stores instead of paper. Then that was not acceptable, now we must purchase the reusable fabric bags. As a child, global warming wasn’t even a concern, nope, it was of all things; an ice age.

Flip and flop.

Let us not forget the endangered species list. Yes, we must protect the animals, but then turn on Discovery Channel and witness a young lion cub starving as scavengers anxiously await its death, while the camera rolls. Because as the deep, somber voice proclaims, we must not interfere with the process of nature.

Flip and flop.

The list is endless and in fact I am confident that readers of this column are remembering some other flip flop. This entire situation would be comic gold if not for the fact that individual liberties are being stripped daily by the self righteous environmentalist. Even more alarming they continue to make the life of the average person more difficult and more expensive.

Being responsible for our surroundings is a logical act, tearing down the human race for in an attempt to save their home is not. Let’s hope that the flip is coming soon, before we flop back to the dark days.
