Do your part to help save the earth (which doesnt need saving)

Kill a human!:aok
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

Lets have some more "I put oil on my lawn" jokes.  Those are great. :rolleyes:


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

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!

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.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

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.
