And how to punish them? You think BP cares about getting sued?! These fuckers have an oil leak from 1950 about 30x the size of Exxon Valdez in our backyard in Greenpoint Brooklyn and are they cleaning it up? Sure, to the extent of maybe a cup a day, because they’ve got some of the world’s best lawyers and they had city officials in their pockets for years.
Ah, thanks for the venting space. Down with Big Oil! Write your congressmen!

A vegetarian driving a Hummer has less of an ecological impact than a meat eater riding a bike.

You can all start by eating less commercially grown meat, (yes, including chicken, fish, pig, turkey, etc). And you all know how much fuel, water and feed it takes to make 1lb of steak. (30 gallons of water, 16 lbs of grain . . . and cows shouldn’t be eating grain . . . grass fed, if you must eat meat, is best).

You can start a revolution by what you put at the end of your fork. You can change the world by what you spend your money on (no $230 fucking weird ass cargo pants). Change does begin with each and everyone of us.

And letter writing (e-mails) are extra added value to your changing the world one forkful at a time!

Eat green, be green, and living a long and healthy life is one way to get back at the big conglomerates that are fucking up OUR planet!

1. you look better than you ever have in your life while wearing them
and
2. they not only wash and dry themselves, but fold all of your other laundry.

The oil leak sucks, our dependence on fossil fuels sucks, our tendency to make and use and dispose of things we don’t need and don’t really have a place for sucks, and the fact that there isn’t a viable alternative without returning us all to living in caves and eating only what we can grow sucks. (I try to grow vegetables, but there are too many trees in my yard that, in the interests of global warming, I’m not willing to cut down, and what I do manage to cultivate despite the glowering gloam is eaten by deer.)

I love bitching and moaning about the state of the world; I would love it even more if I could follow that up by offering viable alternatives.

Your blog makes me happy.

We are in some serious shit, and we can all choose to do things differently. It would not even take that much.

I saw those stupid cargo pants today, and wonder how they can actually be valued at what they are selling for (and apparently like hot cakes).

I also saw pictures of animals covered in oil, which made me cry.

What is important? What kind of world do we want? We have obviously chosen one that wants to self destruct, but have lots of money in the meantime.

The oil spill sucks. Way to go humanity. I am in life is worthless and stupid kick. This is not helping me.
