Thanks Chris. “single-handedly” is actually a word;you just forgot the dash. i think if you look up “American” in the dictionary, there should just be a big pile of shit, i mean–stuff–not actual shit. i’m glad to hear that your eyes are being opened. and i hope {the rest of} America will soon join us in this war…

Well put. Sarcasm is sometimes the ONLY vehicle to get a point across. You have single handedly (did I make that word up special for you, or did I just misspell it?) summed being American up as the accumulation of stuff . I had never thought of it as that in the past, but now i see exactly where you are coming from. I am defined by the things I have. My possessions help those around me decide what kind of person I am. But not just my physical possessions. I also feel that the resources that I have access to define me and my Americanism. I can afford to waste lots and lots of water if I want to. If you try to stop me, you are encroaching on my right to be American. I find this to be absurd, and you will all be happy to know that my water usage has been reduced significantly over the years. That being said, I feel that I have been raised in a society where it is okay to not give back. I have been told all my life to take and take and take until someone or something stops me from doing so. A few years ago my eyes began to open. And since then, with certain, how do you say, potential environmental problems acting as catalysts i have continued to become more conscience of the condition of things around me. Thank you for proposing a slight ethical shift in the way we as Americans, and as a people, interact with our environment.

ha ha. it’s funny; my hair dryer broke about a year ago and i’ve pretty much learned to live without it, not due to environmental concerns…just because i’m lazy and poor.

LOL! What a wonderful commentary!

I can live without a clothes dryer, but not a hair dryer — that’s a necessity. I do use re-usable grocery bags, and I walk or take the bus pretty much everywhere. I buy fair trade coffee (and chocolate) whenever I can, but a lot of places don’t have them.

I almost never eat meat …well, let’s avoid any double-entendres about that, shall we, it’s a serious subject. I would leave grass clippings on the lawn if I ever mowed the lawn, but that’s what brothers are for. And I do want your stuff, but I’m short on Benjamins and my closet is already overflowing. Would you take a post-dated I.O.U.?

This must be the best piece of satire ever. Jonathan Swift can suck it. The related links somehow add more to this massively perfect piece, breaking some physical law of mass and space (the emo lawn mower is the funniest thing I have ever seen). Hell {2 the} yes, lee lee.

“Shall we just vote the city of Seattle out of America, in order to reach our eco-friendly quotas?”

Aye!
