It seems a Chicagoan was in on the act the other day when a bunch of environmental protesters unfurled a giant banner over the face of Abe Lincoln (outrage!) at Mt. Rushmore yesterday. According to the Daily Herald, Chicagoan Mary Sweeters was involved and Greenpeace officials indicated at least one more Illinois resident may have been a part. The Daily Herald has the full scoop on what went down.

ugh, just for this I'm going to have spray extra aerosol around my Styrofoam cooler of gasoline tonight.

You should also break your toys once you're done playing with them so no other babies will get to play with them.
I see what you did there!
Thanks to environmental groups advocating for the removal of CFCs from aerosol sprays, you can spray all you want and it won't contribute to ozone depletion.
Sometimes I like to ask those Greenpeace kids begging on street corners if they have any idea of the size of Greenpeace's carbon footprint. Printing giant banners and millions upon millions of brochures takes an enormous amount of energy. Of course, the kids think all that paperwork they're holding was miraculously handed down from the hands of Gaia or something.

Right back at ya.
Ha, that doesn't really make any sense, but if you say so. Is this where I'm supposed to say something like: I know you are but what am I??
I didn't think a link to a wikipedia article about some random concept in philosophy that didn't really apply without some explanation deserved much more of a response. And I was actually planning on going with something along the lines of the "I'm rubber, you're glue" line of thought.
I think it applies to your specious reasoning: STFU if you have any kind of 'carbon footprint'.

I think the unwritten rule is that you can have as large of a carbon footprint as you want as long as you are vocal about the dangers posed by large carbon footprints.
I'm as much of a Democrat as the next person in Chicago, but this global warming/climate change stuff has passed me by. I'm all for a clean planet but young hipsters, college kids, and Greenpeace folks are way too fanatic about it in my opinion. It also seems that the people warning us and passing these new laws are the worst offenders (see Congress, Al Gore).
And then Martin Landau came along and tried to bump then off but ended up plunging to his death.
Thank you!
America! Fuck, yeah!
