Why do all these idiots HATE Carbon???

All living organisms contain carbon; the human body is about 18% carbon by weight. In green plants carbon dioxide and water are combined to form simple sugars (carbohydrates carbohydrate, any member of a large class of chemical compounds that includes sugars, starches, cellulose, and related compounds. These compounds are produced naturally by green plants from carbon dioxide and water (see photosynthesis ).

• It is a constituent of all organic matter.
• There are more carbon compounds than there are compounds of all other elements combined.
  
• The successful linking in the 1940s of carbon with silicon has led to the development of a vast number of new substances known collectively as the silicones silicone..
  
• Carbon has been known to humans in its various forms since ancient times. Although carbon makes up only .032% of the earth's crust, it is very widely distributed and forms a vast number of compounds. Carbon exists in the stars; a series of thermonuclear reactions called the carbon cycle nucleosynthesis or nucleogenesis, in astronomy, production of all the chemical elements from the simplest element, hydrogen, by thermonuclear reactions within stars, supernovas, and in the big bang at the beginning of the universe...

We are 'star stuff', we ARE Carbon.

Will these moonbats send a Carbon Tax Bill to Polaris (the North star)?

We are caught in the Devil's bargain,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

but the first version seems to be pretty popular on the lyrics pages...
