David Jensen's bizarre emotions expressed in his letter (Readers' Forum, Jan. 16) are typical of zealot environmentalists whose self-loathing is so great that it must be extended to smear the entire human race.
Environmentalists subscribe to the gospel of Gaia, which teaches that humans are parasites and trespassers on the Earth that must be diminished or eliminated. It is a corrupt religion seeking to destroy the very fabric of our technological society that has given us the highest standard of living in recorded history.
If Jensen is so concerned about the welfare of Gaia, he should move to a country like Cuba, where the government, the standard of living and the general lifestyle are more in harmony with his beliefs.
