Last week, more people were killed by e coli bacteria in organic bean sprouts grown in Germany than have died in every nuclear reactor accident in the United States, Canada, Britain, France, and Germany put together.
Germany’s politically correct leader, Angela Merkel, has not put any plans in place to get rid of organic food. But, she has proposed getting rid of her nation’s nuclear reactors, though they haven’t killed anyone.
Organic food just killed thirty five people. Nuclear power has provided the safest, cheapest electricity there is, allowing Germany to become the economic powerhouse that leads Europe, subsidizing the poorer nations’ chronic overspending.
The left still defends organic food. One can now understand why it is an important part of the Culture of Death.
Ignoring the deaths caused by their favorite practices is a hallmark of those who have sunken into leftism. The lies they believe and tell become ingrained in their minds, riddling their individual, human program with viruses and errors.
Those who embrace leftist lies do gain a short-term financial advantage. Such deaths give them power to regulate. Regulation provides jobs for them and others of their ilk while making their neighbors grow ever poorer and less able to stand against them.
(Update, June 24, 2011: The number of deaths caused by eating organic food has reached 44. Few bureaucrats are concerned. “Too many people, anyway.”, they uniformly agree.)
