Seems like a nice place to paste something I recently posted on my facebook:

"I've decided to take a proactive approach to karma. Every time Mother Gaia erupts a volcano or drops a twister or slams us with a hurricane or an earthquake or tsunami or whatever, I shall pour one can of motor oil down a storm drain. Balance achieved!"

Of course, guys like Glover make me want to find even more reasons visit Pep Boys for a few quarts of karmic balance.

Ken Macleod wrote a SF novel called 'The Star Faction' where he has a character rant ...

'Fuck them and their nazi economics. Protection. Conservation. Restriction. Deep ecology. Give me deep technology any day. They don't scare me. I'm damned if I'll crawl, my children's children crawl on the earth in some kind a fuckin harmony with the environment. Yeah, till the next ice age or the next asteroid impact. It's them or us, man, and I've chosen people.'

Right on, I say, and pass the nukes.

I saw your comment at Zanzibar and Zanzi's snivelish reply. I posted in support of you. Sometimes you go too far in your enthusiasms, but not, I think, this time.

Thank you for your support. I appreciate it. And it is true that, at times, I am ruled by the old adage "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing."

I thought it was 'Anything worth doing involves Belgian chocolate' ... but then again, I'm easily confused.

As I read that greenazi's article, and he kept going on about how climate deniers need to be tattooed, or drowned or whatever, I started asking myself, "If Algore's Children are so enthused about pointing out the dullards among the human race, why don't THEY start prominently tattooing THEMSELVES. No law needed and when the oceans rise 20' and they are shown to be paragons of ethical ecological behavior, they can point to the rest of us and still yell I TOLD YOU SO!!!"

Nah, you weren't overboard on your comments there. If anything, I was expecting you to break out the flame throwers, but you've offered up spiked heads before. Completely appropriate. For a boy.
