They don't get it.

We had the same problem in California year after year of fighting with the environmentalists over the issue. The Forestry service tried to implement controlled burns for underbrush and the like to reduce the chance of extremely powerful fires and each year it would get shot down by the environmentally challenged groups. So every so many years, California burns as if it were an uncontrollable fire ball and we lose countless homes, livestock, and people due to it. Such is the price for stupidity.

As far as destroying the planet is concerned I suggest (using HAARP maybe) accelerated Plate Tectonics. It has repaved the place several times already.

I lived in California for over 30 years, was involved with Fish and Game, Forestry Service, and volunteered my time with them due to the fact that my friends parents all worked in them. I say "environmentally challenged" because these "environmental" groups have absolutely no clue about the environment. They think running around talking about how wonderful the environment equates to actually doing something practical and productive in protecting them and preserving them.

I never saw these "environmentalists" when I was doing work with these groups. I never saw these poor concerned groups out getting their hands dirty with doing anything productive concerning them. They congregate and harp about environmental causes, show up to the gatherings on the local university campus, talk about about they care and how much they know, but many of them are severely ignorant about the topics they claim to understand. Their solutions would cause all kinds of problems and half the time we were cleaning up after their stupidity.

I think what really got me was when I went with a clean up detail to a camp area that these loons camped at for a gathering and we had to pick up all of the garbage these fools left behind. They are pathetic narcissistic ignorant morons who know nothing about that which they speak.


They are... Environmentally challenged. /shrug
