Yahoo has a new CEO called Marissa Mayer who worked for Google before. Maybe this is her idea of manipulating the masses. A kind of Huffington Post, only with more lies and hate.

Marissa Mayer has a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science from Stanford University. This is the same place Paul Ehrlich is president of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University. This is the same Ehrlich who with Obama Science Czar, Dr. John P. Holdren, wrote “The Population Bomb” and “Ecoscience: Population, Resouces, Environment”

[Holdren]… wrote several books in the ‘70s with environmentalists Paul and Anne Ehrlich calling for – among other things — an end to the automobile industry as we know it….
In their 1973 book “Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions,” Holdren and the Ehrlichs wrote of the need for the federal government to re-purpose the automobile industry.
…In the same book, Holdren and the Ehrlich’s promoted the idea of then-Louisiana State University economist Herman Daly of imposing “depletion quotas” on natural resources to drive up their prices and reduce usage.
“Limiting the amount of energy available would, of course, also tend to limit the size and number of automobiles, encourage the use of mass transit and promote the substitution of efficient high-speed trains for energetically wasteful short- and medium-haul jet airplanes.”
In fact, as a transitional measure, Holdren and the Ehrlichs championed the idea of “small, low-horsepower, long-lasting cars designed for recycling.”
“To this end,” they wrote, “the U.S. government might start by removing tariffs and import restrictions on automobiles that meet strict exhaust-emission standards, so that small foreign cars would become even more attractive to American buyers.”
Holdren and the Ehrlichs, meanwhile, are the same authors who also wrote that a “massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States.”

Looks like Ms. Mayer is following what she learned at Stanford. I would expect Yahoo to out do the Graniad in idiocy from now on.
( She’s also on the board at Wal-Mart, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Ballet and New York City Ballet.)
