Just for the record, I plan on burning a huge pile of remodeling trash today. (loaded with all manner of evil material) Might even throw a few tires in there, too!

I was in high school in 1970, and we were handed trash bags and forced to go around cleaning up the streets all day. I remember it well.

Our Christian schools should celebrate “God, The Creator, Day” today, instead of joining in worshiping the earth, which supposedly evolved successfully for “billions and billions” of years but can’t seem to evolve past man-made pollution.
Romans 1:26: “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever praised. Amen.”

Thank you ETL.
I have always hated Earth Day because I knew it to be a commie holiday and instituted to celebrate Lenin’s birth.
Problem is nobody ever believes me.
Earth Day is an abomination for our American standards.

I don't get it . . . when I was in college (early 1980's), Earth Day was celebrated the first day of Spring.
I'd like to see the history behind the change.

The very first "Earth Day" (April 22, 1970) just happened to be Vladimir Lenin's 100th birthday
No offense, but its pretty hard to pick any day that some 'famous' or 'infamous' person wasn't born on.
Also born on April 22...
- 1451: Isabella I, of Castile, Queen of Spain, 1479-1504, patron of Columbus
- 1870: Nikolai Lenin, [Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov], Bolshevik/U.S.S.R. revolutionist
- 1904: J. Robert Oppenheimer, born in New York, head of Manhattan, A-bomb, Project
- 1908: Eddie Albert, born in Rock Island, Illinois, actor, and War Hero
- 1936: Glen Campbell, born in Delight, Arkansas, actor/singer
- 1961: Jeff Hostetler, NFL quarterback, New York Giants, Raiders, Redskins/1990 Superbowl
I'm not saying Earth Day wasn't founded by some kook lib, it was, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin
(1), but a connection to Lenin??
(1) he was for 'zero population growth'

I’m having trouble trying to figure out the differences between Lenin and Obama and I think the reason is because there isn’t any. Sorry I just answered my own question.

Pete Seeger is a disgusting human being who followed the straight Communist line during the Stalin-Hitler Pact. In other words, he had no ideals of his own. He merely believed whatever the Party told him to believe at any one time. And as I understand it, he was not a "fellow traveler" but an out-and-out Communist Party member.
Unfortunately in less than two weeks Seeger will turn ninety and we'll hear nothing but what a splendid human being and enemy of tyrants (???) he has always been.

I’d always heard that Earth Day was on Eddie Albert’s birthday. He was one of the early environmentalists.
