Mini rant about Earth Day

[operaticingenue.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow's Earth day. YAY! OMG! Yet ANOTHER hippie holiday for all of us to observe lest we be labeled insensitive jerks. You know, I have in mind to just dump a few tons of nuclear waste into the sewers to piss off Al Gore liberals.

I was watching the news this morning and I couldn't believe how many news stations were going "green". One of their longer segments were about how Ralph's is giving away totes to reduce the use of plastic bags. Now, if I don't want shitty looking "re-usable" totes (that are almost guaranteed to disintegrate after 5 uses), I'll be getting dirty looks for indoctrinated customers and cashiers.

JESUS CHRIST. LET ME SHOP IN PEACE!

Liberals claim that they're all about freedom to do whatever we want... yet they condemn us if we decide to wash our cars or use plastic shopping bags. Hypocritical much?

I'm not for trashing the environment. After all, when I take walk around the neighborhood, I wouldn't want plastic bags flying in my face. But I'm also not for hypocrisy.

Conservatives let liberals whine all they want about how the world's going to boil over in 75 years. How about the liberals return the favor and let us carry our milk cartons in plastic bags?

BTW, Iron Man is likely to be a conservative-friendly movie, from what I hear.

Downey's Past Troubles Power 'Iron Man'

"I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics every since."
