Today is April 22, Earth Day. 
Am I the only one who says WHO CARES???
Has it become "cool" to go green? I see it everywhere and I just don't understand.
The reason I ask is because I am a television producer. Recently in a meeting of story ideas.. the idea of how to go green was brought up.
Yeah yeah we'll tell people about different ways to save the environment, one person said. Keep in mind.. I live in a Very Conservative area. These people aren't your usual liberal tree huggers.
Why is Global Warming such a big issue? Or is it a fake issue? Global warning probably does exist. But there's nothing we can do about it. Global warning, from what I've read, happens on other planets like Saturn too.
I tend to think it's a made up issue. Shouldn't immigration be the number 1 issue? How about Iraq?
How about a Governor going 91 miles an hour down a highway with no regard for anyone's safety?
How about the fact that some kid just shot up a school.. and now gun grabbers will be going after our guns more than ever?
Muslims worship the moon, and treehuggers worship mother earth. Both groups are equally as dangerous to freedom loving Americans everywhere.
So in light of all this.. what are you doing for Earth Day? I'm gonna go gas up my SUV, fire up the gas grill, put gas in my SUV, and chop down a few trees.
I just watched a segment on Fox where they talked about how to go green in your home.
I watched it and learned some things.
Leave unused appliances plugged in ALL the time.
Wash all your clothes on the heat cycle.
Always dry dishes using the Dry cycle. Never let them dry on their own.
And don't forget to mow the grass today!!!!!
I plan to burn a tire in celebration.
I plan to be carbon non neutral.
You are just down right mean!
Gratuitous pollution is indicative of a deviant personality. I, on the other hand, am improving the world and the things around me while I recycle some things. You can see that my intentions are well meant. In liberal circles, the intent is all that matters.
Gosh! I’m feeling so good about myself, I may even send in for an Earth Day badge. If it is free.
Drive to Home Depot to get a free CFL bulb..
You two are setting a “pour” example.
I’m with you. BBQ and fire up the gas guzzling lawnmower, might even used the gas guzzling wead eater, if I can get the darn thing started.
Better yet, just burn the piles of litter in the ditch.
Piss off as many leftists as possible.
Church, taking the kids to the playground later and NEVER giving this pagan holiday a second thought.
Wear my new “I heart Global Warming” to the Dallas gun show on 29 April (see http://www.cafepress.com for lots of cool stuff like this)
“I heart global warming” t-shirts

Display my new bumpersticker on my cube at work: “My carbon footprint is bigger than yours!”
Already been to the gun range.
Birthday cake. I share my birthday with Mother Earth. (and Marta Limbaugh, but that’s not so important anymore!).
Nowadays I just try to conserve energy with efficient lights, turning stuff off and maintaining my car. I recycle by reusing, using less non-biodegradables and fixing things. I don’t believe in government recycling.
All of the believers in Global Warming I know leave their lights, TVs and PCs on all day. They buy tiny plastic drinks for home use that put more plastic in the trash. They don’t maintain their cars either. When I tell them about the hypocrisy they just say “its not me, you gotta look at the big picture dude”.
I’m going to do the same thing that I always do on Earth Day - I celebrate Lenin’s Birthday.
Just kidding of course, but Earth Day (the ultimate Communist plot) is on Lenin’s Birthday.
Just joking.
I'm not planning anything. It's not a special day to me.
Global Warming/Climate change, whatever "label" you want to use for it, is the biggest confidence job that's ever been perpetrated.
Apparently the lefties have taken a snapshot of the Earth's atmosphere on a certain date and time and it shouldn't change from that snapshot at all. The atmosphere is a static thing and it should remain the same at all times and places.
That's such a crock that it's absolutely amazing. And expensive. In 10 years, it won't be a "theory" it'll be an industry to the tune of $250 billion, most of it tax money sucked out of the govt.
The libs are getting their businesses set up to suck the cash out already. Note Al Gore and others setting up the "carbon credit" businesses to cover their "carbon footprints". They're setting up to dig cash out of the gullible and the govt (redundant, yeah) hand over fist, as quick as they can.
You'll notice that all their predictions are 50+ years out when they won't care about political power any more.
It's a lie. Like everything the libs espouse, it's all a lie.
“Phooey on Earth Day. Its a made up liberal holiday that makes the Earth more important than God! Feh.”
I’m sorry about your loss. As a Chrisian, God is in control and you will see her again. Won’t it be glorious to NEVER hear this nonsense again? United with other loved ones? I can hardly wait. Keep looking UP!
ok but double posting is just downright mean :)
Probably have a CO2-inducing cookout when I get to Florida. I plan to burn as much fossil fuel as possible today.
