Anyone who grasps humanity's impending climate curtain call will instantly
"grok" the moral leprosy of denial-funding criminals like the Kochs. Since
their unspeakable crime hardly bears a name--should we call it
humanicide?-- they richly deserve mention in the same horrified breath as
"mere" genocidal demons like Hitler, Stalin, Suharto, and Pol Pot. And
arguably worse, because they conspire to murder not just the entire human
race, but most animal species along with it. Yet this radically evil crime
against most sentient beings doesn't even have a name, and is subject of
no law on the books. If ever humanity's outraged sense of justice cried
out to heaven, "There ought to be a law," this should be the case. And the
assigned punishment should be death--or the worst penalty the law allows.
.
So a climate Tea Party, faithful to its radicalism, should demand
criminalization of funding climate-change denial, sanctioned by the
severest penalties--including possibly death--the law allows. And yes, I
understand this view will shock most Americans' moral sensibilities--it's
expressly meant to -- and perhaps overly worry ACLU types legitimately
concerned about free speech.
.
If most Americans are shocked, I think it's because they've simply (and
slavishly) grown used to laws bereft of any clear connection to the common
good. Or, if laws promoting the common good do exist, they're almost never
enforced against the rich and powerful, no matter how egregious their
crimes.
.
So it's shocking to visualize the death penalty (or life imprisonment) for
the Kochs, just as it's shocking to picture either for the heinous war
criminals of the George W. Bush administration. Yet a true radical sees
that laws--and their enforcement--exist to serve the common good, and that
any nation where mass murderers like Bush and his neocon cronies or the
Koch brothers walk the streets, let alone prosper, is a nation so unjust
it bears within the seeds of its own destruction. Tragically, in the
Kochs' case, that self-destruction will likely drag the whole human race
in its wake. A people who can't fathom how criminal that is deserves to be
shocked.
