Damn You Hippies! Now I Have to Re-plan My Funeral! ~ Kelly N Patterson
by elephantjournal.com on Mar 10, 2012
This may take some time because I will have to insist everyone attend my funeral by hybrid car, foot, cycle, roller-blade or use public transportation; use only biodegradable body products that day; serve organic sushi, Thai and Indian; have compost toilets and then use mourner manure to fertilize the flowers on my grave…

Cowardice + Consumerism = Canned Hunting.
by Karl Saliter on Jan 27, 2012
I believe paying hunters are cowards and thieves. They hide under the strong arms of the professional hunter. They are stealing a false sense of virility, which they wear like the cheapest cologne on the planet. They don the fool’s grin, but not in a good way.

Plastic floats upon the ocean water… it does not sink, so there is still a chance for us to see it… collect and gather what we have forsaken and lost.
