You just made me shed a tear, Bonnie. Seriously. I’m at work and people beside me are confused…

I’m utterly confused, too… I really… I was hoping that… people were actually starting to pay attention to the environment. We’re FEELING IT NOW. … If you’re living in the states, you know that the coasts are going to be oceans, and that the whole central continent will be a desert in just a couple generations? … Your children’ll participate in the new Exodus, m’am. That’ll be something worthy of an epic story… to remember the billions who’re gonna die on the way….

I have no problem with people believing in God if they want to, but I do have a problem with people turning a blind eye to environmental disaster because it’s more convenient to dismiss the evidence and hang on to a comfortable, guilt-free lifestyle.

And while I agree that we are all entitled to our opinions, opinions lead to specific sets of behaviors and actions, and when those actions are directly affecting the future of the planet, I for one feel personally invested in challenging the opinions that have fostered such careless actions, including the notion that people are somehow entitled to driving polluting motor vehicles.

The thing about GAS is that it is going to make the earth fall apart, the ocean will swallow the land and the land will become a desert. It’s kind of like the end of the world, except that the world will continue, it will just suck a lot for all the humans that are trying to live on it.

So I don’t really like it when people use cars that have more power than they need because they are bringing on the ecological apocalypse faster than people who ride bikes or use energy-efficient cars when they have to drive for some reason. Hummers are the worst symbol of this waste, so I have a special place in my heart reserved just for hating Hummers. That’s how it goes y’know. Kind of how everyone has a special place in their hearts just for hating Hitler. I mean, there are lots of other genocidal dictators from the history books that we could spend our time hating, but we choose to focus on Hitler cause we feel he’s the worst, and sometimes you just have to go with your feelings.

Some other reasons I hate hummers:

• They take up too much space on the road. I live in a neighboorhood with narrow roads, and Hummers take up all the space.
• They are military vehicles and always have a dominating, violent aura. I dont’ like people who choose to ensconce themselves with violence.
• They are a symbol of wasted affluence, which is obnoxious.

So there you have it. Hummers are shitty asshole-mobiles that are killing our grandchildren before they are born, regardless of whether your income level lets you justify it to yourself.
