Fuck the earth! We're all gonna die! What has it done for me lately anyhow?
There's this golden cheeked warbler who likes a tree in my back yard. I'm gonna cut down the tree with a gas-powered chainsaw, burn the green branches and eat that fucking bird for lunch! And then go piss motor oil on the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone!
Anybody got any SPF 1000? (I'll check with the Greenpeace, tree-hugging, ultraliberal, eco-terrorists next door)
That this thread became "passionate" is pretty damned funny. imho! If you hate this rock so much, why not put it on IGNORE? Chit, I guess you already have! "EARTH: Love it or leave it!" Got a ring to it, eh?
I don't know that Earth Day is a "celebration" anymore than the Great American Smokeout is. I also believe we shouldn't have to designate one day a year to remind us how fragile our environment is, we should be ever mindful of it -- no matter whether you believe we should be drilling more wells, putting up more nukes or building more wind farms. Without it, we ain't got chit! So many of us already actively practice reuse and recycling here on ECCIE. In fact, I'm thinking about reusing the route to one of my ATFs right now!
I guess that's why they teach Earth Science to students K-12, and have since I was in school ... now that they've done away with Thomas Jefferson, there's going to be even more time for that. But that's definitely another disussion!
