Does MOFOE have a platform?
 

If so, what is it? I'd like to know what kind of group I was joining up with before, you know, joining up. I mean, theres "for the environment" and then there's "for the ENVIRONMENT".

o

that's what we need to work on. we have no platform.

Any general sense of what it should stand for?

Is it like a relatively-rabid Greenpeace-style organizations for Mormons? Or a somewhat more pragmatic "for the environment, but there are limits to what we'll sacrifice for the environment" situation?

More national parks? Or should they be privatized?

Oil or ANWAR?

Anti-SUV?

Advocating more government intervention/spending? or more public awareness?

I'm not sure how I feel about any of this myself. I worry that there is no study anywhere in the world that doesn't bear the biases of its creator, whether pro-environment or pro-industry, wherefore it's hard to get a grip on what the *actual* situation is. As such, I think it's hard to be specific in one's ideologies in this regard -- you end up believing what you want to believe. Oh well. Maybe it'd be easier to try and identify the future ideal than the specific, more-immediate platform planks.

Ideals:
1. Nothing goes extinct.
2. No humans starve.
3. The world's climates remain stable.
4. Human quality of life allowed to continue improving.

My greatest concern is that 1 and 3 necessarily conflict with 2 and 4.

My $.02, FWIW, IMHO, and all sorts of 4-character disclaimers.

I want to join!

Seriously, though, environmental outlook is one of the areas where I identify very strongly with the Democrats.

Problem is, I drive an 8-cylinder car - is that grounds for disqualification? I guess in mitigation, it is named after an animal.

I want to be counsel for MOFOE
 

reasons:

I represent a lot of jerks, just kidding.

I represent diverse persons most of which don't identify with Mormons.

I like the environment, just don't like extremes on either side.

Hmm, let me think, as in my environment I'm frequently discouraged from thinking or using my brain.

Technically a gremlin is a creature, not an animal.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But, man, can that thing fly! Except I keep outrunning my hubcaps.

While I'm not yet sold on the platform-less MOFOEs, I do believe I will join Archaea's group. Each of us will proudly be one of those
Against Sexual Slavery by Conniving Ladies Only Wanting their Needs Served.

Will you join us in this great crusade?
