The time for action is NOW! (oh, and don't cut yourself)

Ok for some reason this post got deleted

Pope is it!

He [Pope Benedict XVI] warned young pilgrims "do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer." The Pope was in Austrailia talking to yuuts about their responsibility for the environment. I love the above comment. We have been soooo lulled into a state of comfy consumerism that we have really abandoned all common sense. Common sense being that of our grandfathers and mothers in the depression who had to scrimp and save and were not able to eat at McD****ds and have every chemical in the world at their fingertips, or throw away everything.

It was listed on another news story I read today that some politician was very concerned about the "C word". That word being conservation. We have really gone beyond that though. No longer should we consumers feel that it's OK to burn gas for some frivolous joy ride in our car or it's OK to throw this or that away or even litter a bit, or leave the water running. It is time for us all to seriously look at what we are "consuming" on a daily basis. Our waste, our frivolous waste, our selfish waste. When you look at it, it's really sickening how enslaved we really are to this waste society. That's when you will decide to start a f**king blog. You know there are too many people on this planet when the pope is worried...maybe he'll declare birth control OK. Seriously though...
