11. "Saving our planet" is just an overwrought phrase.

And it does more harm than good.

We are actually trying to save our own asses and that of a few other living things. The planet will survive our stupidity and it has around 4 billion years to correct any thing that we have done. So if plastic takes 150 years to completely degrade, guess what, after we are dead, the planet has plenty of time to take care of the matter, as it will with acid rain removing the CO2 and CO that we put in the atmosphere to kill ourselves. All it takes is for us to kill ourselves, which we are on the way to doing.

"Saving the planet" makes us look like mushy tree-Huggers, we need to get into the right's faces and explain that we are working to save their asses as well as our own.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
