Rather than a turkey at Thanksgiving, especially at the White Supremacist House where the turkey is given a presidential pardon like the rest of the turkeys pardoned during the year, I suggest we have the Village Idiot have Don Jr. go out to slay a bald eagle, the national bird. The fat family of fatheads can then farm the eagle out to McDonalds for a fry on the grill and pair it with a nice chianti and fava beans. We can only wish for calcified, ossified arteries.

"Earth Shoe-wearing hippie scientists"? Seriously? No one has worn earth shoes since before the end of the Carter Administration. At least if you're going to come up with cutesy ways of denigrating right-wing nuts' perceptions, pick something that doesn't require a Google search.
The species Homo sapiens has proven itself to only murder everything else and defile the earth in its’ search for the continuation of itself. No other species in the history of the world has done that. It seems to me that our domination and defilement need to end. And the only way that will happen is the extinction of Homo sapiens from this earth because we never, ever learn as a group. To think that our species have barely been here compared to the other dominant species that are now extinct and yet the horror and destruction we have wrought is a trillion times worse and more extensive than these extinct species did in their sojourns of millions of years on this earth....it simply boggles the mind. We simply don’t deserve the beauties of this world.
I'ts the rich get richer quick scheme. They drop the regulations, they destroy the environment, make the billions and die before they even feel the effects of their actions. The children and grandchildren inherit the billions and join the rest of the billionaires on the future moon colony, leaving the middle class to die on a polluted planet.
This seems so obvious, but it too goes against the reich wing's deeply cherished (as long as expedient) beliefs of 1) man being given dominion over all the earth, and 2) the rapture coming along *any day now* to whisk all True Believers away so they won't have to clean up after themselves, little say live with the consequences of their actions.
I don't mind some of the gentle Jeebus meek and mild stuff, but overall I think xtianity is one of the most toxic belief systems humanity ever came up with. We'd be so much better off without it.
Perhaps justice is a little broad, the idea that they do not profit from their planet killing ways, they gain no 'get out of jail free' card from their exploitation is at least moral, not much to be sure. The only other option is to study nanotech and make the fuckers pay, maybe, anyway that is what I do.
Their hope that money will buy a space in a ark is interesting because when society collapses currency won't mean shit anymore. When the Ross ice shelf finishes collapsing most likely a mega volcano will ensue due to a kilometers worth of isostatic rebound, (I had a brief conversation with James Hansen, climate advisor for Al(who?)Gore, about this) resulting in a volcanic winter of 100000 years. A 100000 year volcanic winter occurred during the Siberian traps event, 250 million years ago which caused 90% extinction.The only way to survive this event is in massive domes made from nanostuff and the only people who will live is those with a skill, money will be irrelevant, yay utopia....err.

Almost as bad as a Zoot Suit reference . . .

Nanotech is very interesting.
It is times like this that I really wish there was an involved, judgmental deity to distribute "just rewards"..

Call me selfish, but I do not call it justice if the miscreant goes down the tubes with me and mine.

Sure but at least it is some sort of justice.
I will find little solace in their mistaken faith in lucre.
