Europe shoots self in foot

Euro Goreons

Europeans, who condemned women lepers and Jews for deliberately spreading Bubonic plague,  have again unsheathed their swords against an equally dangerous threat to life and limb.  Greenhouse gas. ''AIR passengers will be charged up to £40 extra for a return ticket within Europe to pay for the environmental impact of their journeys, under plans approved by the European Parliament yesterday. ''MEPs voted in favour of the “immediate introduction” of a tax on jet fuel for flights within the 25 member states of the EU. The charge would double the cost of millions of budget airline flights. ''They also accepted a recommendation for a special emissions trading scheme for the aviation industry, which would see airlines buying permits to cover their output of carbon dioxide. ''  - Air fares 'to double' as Europe votes for green tax Gird yourselves for the coming attacks.  No legions are more fearsome in their determination to foist idiocies on others, than those who fear clucking at the moon alone, publicly ridiculed, and in this case economically disadvantaged (or, to use the apothegm, ''Misery needs company.''.)  Yes, we will have to nuke Europe one day, but fortunately it'll be radically Islamic by then, and nobody will care.
