Things Destroying the Fabric of the Universe is proud to present : Hippies - Treehugging failures at life. I actually wouldn't have that much problem with hippies if they didn't try to force their opinions about the economy, the environment, and the evil EVIL! corporations on us all the time. If I wanted to adapt your mantra of communing with the trees and saving the environment from the evil corporations that make everything we use as a society today, then I'd grab an Alladin vest, a guitar with a pot logo emblazoned on the center, and start building a tent made out of garbage bags! Problem is - I kinda like living in a house with luxuries like walls and stuff . . . So I don't think i'm going to go for that. Just look at this commercial here by gigantic head honcho hippie David Suzuki. In this commercial, save-the-world man is changing some guy's lightbulb in favor of a flourescent bulb, and just after he does it kids put down their video games and go out to play hockey, some bullshit happy-go-lucky music comes on, the sun rises, and all pollution stops. Maybe the reason people aren't installing these bulbs are because hmmm... I don't know - They don't feel like getting mercury poisoning?? Yeah a lot of people don't realize that if they break a flourescent bulb, mercury is going to be in their carpet and flooring which they're going to have to pay thousands of dollars to clean up. Don't believe me? Then go here and check it out for yourself. Feel good everyday knowing that you're saving the environment a marginal cent every day, just don't think about the possibility your bulb might break costing you more than it ever would have saved you.
