Mitt Romney Gets Endorsement from Mississippi's Governor

Mitt Romney can use the support of the first term Republican Governor of Mississippi facing a tough election challenge essentially against the tough and determined former Senator Rick Santorum. If Romney can take the conservative southern state it may mean the end of the Rush Limbaugh News Hour (only joking-Rush Limbaugh is gaining sponsors rather than losing them, and he is getting back on track after misspeaking to call a college student testifying before a superfluous congressional committee a 'slut' last weak).

I should point out that Mr. Limbaugh is not uncommonly wrong on environmental issues. Today for instance he called Greenpeace a leftist organization. On that point he is wrong. Rush assumes in error that any organization that does not support erroneous energy and economic supply prioritization (e.g. oil) is leftist. Greenpeace like many scientific organizations is simply objective about a particular range of empirical resource use issues, and would I suppose find any sort of across the world upgrade of human use of resource within any kind of free economic system o.k.

I wondered what it might have been like to visit Europe and see the Mediterrainian basin when it was dry and the strait of Gibraltar closed a few million years ago. It would have been a few hundred degrees at the bottom and in Europe a number of odd creatures not alive today would have trod the odd forests where no humans lived-simply some primates with gleeming eyes indicating a little too much intellect sometime like the way my chess opponent program occassionally plays. Rush Limbaugh and a host of fossil fuel corporations would have been riight at home in that ecosystem advocating with Lenin's fervor for pure materialism and disregard of spirit, intelligence and wise use of resources.

Today the world hasn't so much opportunity to disregard human environmental impact as then. In the Arctic male polar bear are becoming cannibalistic because of a lack of ice and trouble capturing seals now and then eating younger males. Arctic records of the range of ice flow in the Bering, Chuckchi and Barents Sea from whaling records going back to 1850 show a steady shrinking commensurate with space satellite records in recent decades indicating the global warming trend of the ice pack. Far too many political leaders are simply dumb on the issue of human environmental impact and want to ignore the potential hell ahead they are creating for the generations of American youth a century ahead.

American ingenuity and free enterprise can be stifled by large networks of corporate power in a controlled limited access 'marketplace' ranging through numerous time zones. The President has been far too recalcitrant to lead into a reform of capitalism that would liberate free enterprise in the way that Adam Smith liberated free enterprise from aristocratic control. Concentrated wealth and power can stifle free enterprise by the intelligent masses such as exist and stop them from developing ecologically rational economic practices.

Mitt Romney may be the better of conventional politicians able to reform government and make it more effective and less costly. It will probably take a new ecological economic reformer in the post-Romney years (its difficult to say what Rick Santorum would do on government reform-perhaps take a Libertarian approach and cut everything except oil depletion allowances and defense contractor spending?).

Mississippi, Alabama, Hawaii and American Samoa vote on the 13th of March, 2012.
