"Sir" Edmund Hillary

Fellow travellers, with so many people worldwide finally coming round to our Gaia-friendly, culturally sensitive worldview, it's depressing when you see a return to the outmoded paradigms of the past. 

 

The latest example is the global outpouring of grief and admiration for the late "Sir" Edmund Hillary.  I mean, the way people are carrying on, you'd think he was some kind of hero! 

 

Even some on the green left have expressed admiration for him!  But it must be remembered that "Sir" Edmund Hillary was not a friend of Nature; he was a peenie waving rapist of Her. 

 

He deliberately set out to conquer Everest, remember. 

 

Why the belligerence, Edmund?  What had Everest ever done to you?

 

Well, he can't answer that.  And just as well.  So I'll answer for him:

 

You see, Hillary hated mountains for the same reason all men hate all women: merely because they are there.

 

And not only did he hate mountains and women; he hated our six-legged fellow travellers as well!  You see, this appalling testoseroid was a bee-keeper before becoming a mountaineer.  So, he funded his Himalayan expedition exploitation by incarcerating non-human persons and harvesting their abdomens.

 

The fact that so many people are lauding this monster is appalling enough.  But most disturbing is this reaction from the Sherpas he so cruelly oppressed. Sadly, yet another case of the colonised participating in their own oppression. 

 

Appalling.  Just appalling.

Beekeeping is a "thoughtcrime"..? It's a harmless human practice (by aboriginal peoples as well, eg., Africa). It doesn't harm the bee colony. And, don't you think trying to climb the world's highest mountain is at least very brave? And sherpas were never "colonized", Nepal was always a free country. I find you have but a single thought-mode. Only one way of thinking. Do try to think "outside" your own box by appreciating the views of others.

You: "What had Everest ever done to you?"

For a with-it environmentalist, you don't know enough not to call it "Everest"...to the natives, it's Cholumungua (sic), "Mother Goddess Of The Snows."

Derek: "all men hate all women:"


All around the World, hundreds of millions of men and women have formed lifelong, very loving (ever heard of "Love", Derek?) relationships. They LOVE each other! Remember, Derek, or are you so alone you've given up trying to love another (?), so you rant on with incredible generalizations. Please, recognize the importance of loving partnerships between the sexes. Just try to think "outside" your box, it will be very refreshing, Love is real, for tens of millions of persons. Just try to keep an open mind.
