Earth Day/ Was the worst day / Now we sip ice tea when we thirs-tay

Did you purchase stupider, less useful types of lite bulbs? Did you drive in your car and buy them, and throw away the packaging? Fuck "Earth Day." Only Mary Worth is real. Seriously, the only positive impact an individual can have upon our environment is by direct attack on the industrial infrastructure itself.



The earth day sort of "change begins with my personal habits" shit is just self-congratulatory consumerist individualist nonsense. It's solipsistic. The bigger picture is global capitalism and techno-industrialization; the powers that be will SELL you a 'green' lifestyle the same way they'll sell you anything else. It's branding and marketing, no more.

Yellow ribbon magnets don't bring soldiers home, and absurd NEW IMPROVED ULTRA-ECO LIGHTBULBS don't do a thing for mother earth.

(Mary W)earth Day. No disrespect meant to Mary Worth; she's cool with me. I dig it when she peers out of the strip at us.

I don't know why you are disrespecting the light bulbs - they last forever. Seriously.

the only impact somebody can have is when they leave earth is remaining a vegan.

Vegans have next to 0 impact on the system. It's your choice, but don't kid yourself.

I request the Iron Rail distribute basic grammar materials to vegans so that they might make sense in the foreseeable future.
