Happy Earth Day. Why Are We Celebrating?

Hey Yupette,

It's the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Why are we celebrating? Any good reasons?

I logged on to AOL today and saw nothing about Earth Day.

Good question. It seems those in charge of the USA can't destroy the environment fast enough to keep up with population growth.

Plenty of stuff about Earth Day from the Arlington County More Expensive Development Propaganda Machine that's helping destroy Arlington.

Look at President Obama, whose mother was counterculture before the word was invented. A total Hedo Harvard Law School Yuppie.

F'ing Obama. Hedo Yuppie has it about right.

Earth Day 1970 - Pave paradise and put up a parking lot.

Earth Day 2010 - Build an energy inefficient, ugly, and unaffordable building on the parking lot and be designated a "green" developer.

Anything to make the "Creative Class" happy.

Happy Give Away Day to developers who cater to the Creative Class.

Earth Day in Arlington 2010 should be dedicated to County Board Chair "Giveaway" Jay Fisette, aka "Gentrification" Jay Fisette, aka "Gourmet" Jay Fisette.

Anyone hear anything about the "Socialists" doing or saying anything anti-Corporate America on Earth Dat? I didn't either.

Reagan, Bush, Clinton. Bush, and Obama have completely destroyed the Progressive Movement in the United States.

Just so happened that an oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico on Earth Day and sank. Anyone express any concern about the environmental effects?

Green Guy said...

Oil companies didn't release news about the extent of the oil leak from this well until after Earth Day.

Oil rig blowing up in the Gulf was undoubtedly the work of Al Quida and U.S Socialists.

Al Quida and Bin Laden are worth more alive than dead to the U.S. military-industrial complex.

Sun Gazette Web site started running coal company PR videos on Earth Day.

Obama authorized drilling off Virginia 3 weeks before the oil drilling platform blow-out in the Gulf. Heard anything from the White House?

Seen what Dr. Steven Hawking said about extraterrestrials? He's wrong, it's not like Columbus landing in the Bahamas, it's like the English landing at Jamestown, the beginning of 400 years of total environmental exploitation. Which Virginians pay a fortune to celebrate every 50 years.

Jeff said...

ONE f'ing oil well blows out and the Gulf gets polluted by 40,000 gallons a day. For how many more days? And Obama wants the wonderful oil companies to drill off Virginia?

Green Guy said...

Jeff, Coast Guard just set the f'ing oil on fire.

Mike said...

This oil spill is a major environmental disaster. What are the White House and Congress doing about it? Preparing legislation that will allow drilling off Virginia's coast.

All both parties want to do is keep fighting wars against terrorists and Third World countries that don't like the United States. So as long as that goes on the United States will be in a de facto state of war and state of siege. Any appeal to common sense will be viewed as "supporting terrorism."

Chicago bullshit pols who run the Obams Administration are totally ignoring this major environmental crisis.
