This shit pisses me off.
Oh, yes. So here we have a man who's for the Earth and against torture (WWJD) and these asshats are saying that he's losing focus of the "important" issues. Such as the school system's treatment of sex, gay sex, sex leading to pregnencies, premarital sex, and so on.
Hey, you guys, what do you think Jesus would do? Let lake Michigan turn dark gray and opaque? Allow people to get tortured? No, I think so, too. That's what he said in the Bible, right? To NOT respect your fellow man, to NOT act in the interest of people other than yourself, and to NOT try to improve the world we live in by any means other than to stop allowing people access to condoms and having gay people pound each other.
God-fucking-dammit.

I am a tree-hugger
And not only that, but I also breathe air, drink water, eat food, and live on Earth. I need resources, dammit.
Pardon me if I want those things to remain intact. Pardon me if I don't want my lungs to turn black before I'm 20 because of all the methane and God knows what else in the air. Pardon me if I don't want to have to wonder what kind of tumor my spinach will give me. Pardon me if I would prefer to have drinking water be some sort of whitish clearish color as opposed to dark brown.
"Oh, but environmentalism will impede progress of corporations". Ah, yes, corporations. God bless them and their hearts of gold. And, obviously, it is absolutely impossible to make progress of any sort without killing the environment. The only way to conserve the Earth's resources at all is to become a cave-dwelling freegan nudist.
Haven't these people heard of moderation? Is it so horrible to be able to recycle things once and a while? Would alternative fuels really kill anybody? What about public transportation? Could it possibly destroy you? Could adjusting your thermostat a few degrees make you die of hypothermia? Would it possibly kill you to try and turn off appliances you're not using?
Did I say that many of the aforementioned things would save a lot of money? Did I also mention that alternative fuels would alleviate oil dependency? And, you know, we're sort of dependent on Middle East oil, which is why you have to pay three bucks a gallon for regular?
Did I mention that there's this school of thought that says that we should try to conserve what we can of Earth but it's stupid to think we can live without leaving a trace? I know, right?
But no. No no no. This is absolutely unacceptable because...well, just because. Our corporations are apparently all-important. And it never occured to anyone that these corporations would need some resources to still, um, do what they're doing. I believe that point was very well outlined in The Lorax.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I admit it. I am a tree-hugger.

Thank you, God
It's about fucking time.
It's nice to see that one-tenth of states in the whole nation aren't afraid to be told that they're tree-huggers who are following "fallacious" science, but it's not enough. It's been pretty much established as a fact that there is global warming. "Oh, but we may not be causing it, so lets keep driving our stretch Hummers with all that room that no one could ever possibly need." What these mofos don't seem to realize is that reducing carbon emissions is beneficial to pretty much everyone, with or without global warming. But no. Since there is one graph from 1990 that seems to show that this is a somewhat natural, we get to keep burning up our foreign oil because we're too lazy to walk a block to Walgreen's.
I'll save my rant on environmentalism and climate change for later. For now, I'm thankful that something is being done and that a few people in this country are smart enough to look past parties and try to help the only place we've ever called our home.
