Anyone else tired of this Earth Day Green crap?

[Tor Larson]

WTH? It is everywhere! Think it is the new religion of the liberals. Since they don't believe in God they have gone on to the saving the earth- like it needs saving. Brainwashing the kids- all over Nickelodeon, schools,etc. I go into stores- it's there. Nothing wrong with making a buck but you can't get away from it! Someone is making a hell of a lot of money on something that wasn't broken in the first place.

Glenn Beck has had some great Earth Day quotes from the 70's from the Earth Day founders. A lot of apocolyptic insaneness and fear mongering. To hear it, makes me chuckle. Same crap coming back around again. To me, it's another way to generate revenue and redistribute the wealth. I contribute to conservation by not buying a bunch of crap, or using resources unnecessarily.

You should see the propaganda they send home with my elementary age children. I have had to sit down with them and explain that people are not evil just because they want to feed and house themselves.

This pendulum will swing back but it will take some time and it will hurt during the process.

libs are so stupid ,,, and as stated here they are brainwashing your kids....

when mine were little they came home crying and mad cause they wanted to save all the animals.. Peta had been to their class and handed out propoganda Bull Shit...

HUH we lived on a farm in a farming community. I headed for school fortunately wasn't the only parent there. The principal took down all the posters and crap and then appoligized.. course now days swat would have been called we would all be in Gitmo as terrorists.

Back on subject,, this Green shit is about the same..

The "green" movement has some good reasons behind it. It makes sense to recycle, cut down pollution and conserve our resources. I don't drink the "everything green" koolaid, but I certainly see the benefit of being a little more responsible.

The fact is, humans destruct as they construct. I personally don't want to live in a world that is void of trees, smog so bad I can't see the mountains right next to me and everywhere I look, trash piled so high that every neighborhood looks like a dump. I have lived in enough third-world countries to know that it is a horrible way to live.

You are right that some groups take the green agenda a little too far. However, to be counter-green is as smart as spending billions in taxpayers dollars in a so-called "stimulus" plan and burdening our children and their descendants with the fallout.

Its my got given right to deplete "my" natural resources as necessary. Use em' or lose em'. The world will end one way or another with or without our help. Keeping "mother nature" happy won't save your soul when your time is up.

Green crap is usualy a sign of bad eating habits

The Rampart cleanup yesterday was attributed to Earth Day, despiste the total lack of any hippy presence...

You're right, it is your "right".

You will never hear me supporting laws to force "green" issues. I am all about less government. I think it is a personal choice. Some issues I support, some I don't.

If someone wants to cut down all of trees on their property, fill their yard with trash and sit in their closed-up garage while letting the engine run on their car...well, more power to them. (I just hope you aren't my next door neighbor)
