Bah, "Time enough for the Earth in the grave"......
:p ;)

Choppin down a tree in my yard when I get home today.:aok

Why stop at one ASTAC? What are you an environmental tree-hugging pansy? Cut 'em all down! You'll be glad you did. :D
I'll prolly drive around alone in my SUV and empty a few cans of aerosol out the window, just for fun. Really not much beats coating a bird with oil though.

Looks like French cuisine.

Trolling nutjobs. Conservation is not a bad thing. Granted, the "movement" has been hijacked by wannabe politicos who you can get to sign a petition for dihydrogen monoxide by telling them it's used in nuclear plants & pesticides...
Good idea, but currently a horrible implementation run by anti-globalization wackos who I don't think even read their own propaganda before sending it out.

I have been saving some cans of freon to release for earthday...
I want to thank everyone who used freon in the past for helping me to avert the global ice age that was predicted to happen by the year 2000.

I wouldn't even go as far as to say its been completely hijacked. Around here, you see a lot of families take part of the day to do a trash pickup along roads or on hiking trails. Nothing wrong with that.
Lets have some more "I put oil on my lawn" jokes. Those are great. :rolleyes:

Do your part to help save the earth (which doesnt need saving)
Kill a human!:aok

I'm speaking of the people that get the media coverage, not the people that actually accomplish things :)

I'm a rig hugger!
Keep em pumping :aok
Trees are for sissys and nature is for nerds!

the crude oil is as natural as the bird. the stuff used to float around all over the place until it became valuable. bird made a stupid mistake

Oops! I think Bunch just revealed himself as a member of the Bush cabinet. Oh, whatagiveaway.
Indy, is it possible to be against globalization and not be a wacko?
-
oboe.. Are you saying that animals don't, and never did, die of oil cantamination until the Bush's came along?

#$%@#%@#$ hippies

I just bought a stinky diesel - just for earth day.
-
laz,
nope it was just a stupid quip on my part, sorry. I wouldn't insist that animals never died from oil contamination prior to Bush.
Its not unreasonable to assume that more animals have died from oil related spills and disasters since supertankers started plying the trade routes and offshore drilling became possible.
Which is not to make an argument to ban plastics or the use or transportation of oil. I wouldn't mind if everybody was a helluva lot more careful with the stuff though. Would you?
Am I coming off like a hippie? Never made that association myself. To me hippies were more about anarchy, free love and drugs than anything else. I think I'm about 10 years too young to have been a part of that original culture, and to tell the truth as a late teen I was very conservative and absolutely convinced of my infallibilty. Not unlike alot of posters here. :)
Peace.

of freon refrigerant. And I'm not afraid to use it. Stand back, or the ozone is history!
Edit: Posted this before I saw your post, lazs. Let's coordinate our attack!
-
Ozone causes cancer so please empty that can over in my town.
My favorite earth day story is about all the sea turtles that die from eating plastic bags because they look like jellyfish. They get all constipated and stopped up from the plastic bag in their gut, so they eat and eat until they can't eat anymore, but they still painfully starve to death with a GI tract completely stuffed full of food. That's a good story and it's even true, no embellishment from the envirowhackos needed. Litterbugs should be shot, or have their colon stapled shut so they get to see what it feels like.
Oh yea, in the last 2 weeks I've spent 4 hours on trash pickup detail, so maybe I'm a little sensitive right now about picking up other people's crap because they're too damn lazy to stuff their wrappers into their damn pockets until they're near a trashcan. ultra melons.
The commissary handed out reusable cloth shopping bags for earth day, along with a survey to measure not only whether people like the reusable bags, but how to improve them in case people think they're too flimsy or the wrong size. Nice program IMHO. Think of all the sea turtles they'll (potentially) save :rolleyes: Some of those suckers can live more than 60 years, so causing one to die early from eating a plastic bag pretty much makes litterbugs a bunch of loser jerkwads.

Darwin's theory predicts the existence of morons

Protons, electrons, neutrons, morons...the common building blocks of matter thoughout the universe. Arrange them one way and you get a molecule of platinum. Arrange another way and you get a government.

or junk science loving BB posters.
As you say... none of us is infallible.. least of all the environmental scientists who need panic in orrder to be funded.
Oil is now thought to be "created" as we sit. it has allways oozed from the ocean floor and the earths crust... without man using it up it would trap animals (who, after all, aren't too bright) and... in a raging forest fire.. would catch fire and burn for years.
Supertanker accidents are rare and nothing compared to what mother nature can do and does to the planet an a regular basis.
I wasn't talking just your hated, evil boosh... I was talking all mankind.

Eagler, send me a bag of that fish bait. :D

If what you mean by 'junk science' is that scientists set out with the conclusion already in mind and then keep modifying the experimental methods or statistics until they get the results they or their sponsors desire, I'm afraid that may cover just about all scientific inquiry nowadays. I'm not sure any truly independent and objective science is being done anymore. And that is a shame.
Oil spills are not rare enough, IMO. Whether they be due to supertanker disaster, pipeline leaks, or offshore rig incidents. I do not agree with the logic that just because Nature regularly destroys or spoils what we have created, that its OK if we are careless and create disasters ourselves.
I don't hate Bush. Coupla things he's done I agree with - like requiring multistate class action lawsuits to be filed in federal court, or the tightening of bankruptcy law (as long as the means test included in it protects those who really need protecting). But I have little respect for someone who orders troops into battle who wasn't willing to answer the call himself. And when I look at his foreign policy and the impact of his economic policies on the middle and lower classes, and the size of his federal deficits, I think the possibility is very real that he will go down in history as the worst president this country has had in a long time, possibly ever. I'm sure if I was a millionaire I would think quite differently about him.
But you're probably right - we are saving the animals of the planet from destruction in a raging fire by pumping the oil out of the ground ourselves. That theory is almost as believeable as the instant Ice Age scenario in "The Day After Tomorrow".

Now i know where Swiss Chalet gets their greasy buzzard from.

well... one should allways try to avoid oil spills for a variety of reasons.
Nature doesn't avoid them tho.

Well, yeah. There's good arguements for and against it. I just think it's funny/stupid/crazy for somebody to be marching, chanting, and brandishing a slogan filled placard against globalization... at a protest that was organized using the tools of globalization (Internet, cell phones). I like it even more when activist groups have websites to give their voice a global reach.
I have no problem with anti-globalization views. They do have some merit. I simply ask that people stick by their beliefs and spread their opinion in a manner consistent with those beliefs. It's leading by poor example at it's best.
-
I have always looked down on protesters, esp. the civil disobedient ones. True, there are alot of wackos out there.
