- I wonder how a tree hugger gets to work in the
morning. You don't suppose they would jump in their
shiny, trendy, beemer yuppie-mobile and burn fossil fuels
introducing noxious gasses into the atmosphere do you?
They must all walk to work, or ride bikes. At the very
least they would take mass transportation since they are
so environmentally aware. I'm sure they must burn
calories - NOT chemicals. I bet they have goats eat their
lawn to keep it short and presentable.
-
- I wonder who's hand is in who's pocket. In CA and
probably elsewhere too, we have the oxygenated fuel. That
is gasoline that's "fluffed up" to supposedly burn
cleaner. To make that happen they put MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl-ether) in it. Since there is less fuel
(and more air) in the gas, gas mileage decreases -
requiring us to burn more fuel to go the same distance.
Someone must be making a bundle on the manufacturing of
this chemical. No doubt there are "donations" being made
to the appropriate organizations by the manufacturers of
it to support its use. At the pump it costs us more for
the fuel. Once again - we must pay more for each gallon
and buy/burn more fuel to go the same distance.
-
- Because of this "better fuel" chemical compound,
trace elements of the MTBE are showing up in lakes and
streams and drinking water supplies. And since we all
know that two strokes are terrible things that Satan
himself must have sent to earth, the tree huggers are
trying to and succeeding at getting personal watercraft
banned from some lakes because the two stroke has a
history of burning less efficiently. It's plain to see
the smoky fumes from them - they must be the root of the
problem.
-
- The problems surrounding this are just too
complicated for a tree hugger to comprehend. To them
cleaner means adding more chemicals (perhaps cancer
causing; kill the people - save the trees) to the
gasoline, increase its cost in doing so; employ more
people to make the stuff - requiring them to burn (more)
fuel to get to work, and make the fuel contain less
energy per given unit. This would be by definition,
negative gain.
-
- I sure hope the yuppie tree hugger never ate at a
fast food restaurant and received food in a styrofoam
container. I'm sure they must all bring their own cloth
sacks to the grocery store to pack their groceries
because we all know using paper OR plastic for bagging
wastes valuable resources; cut a tree to make a sack or
refine fossil fuels into plastics. I'm sure no tree
hugger has a cell phone which was made using hundreds of
chemicals in its housing and components. I know the
hugger must walk or ride a bike to the post office to
pick up his/her mail since they wouldn't want fuel burned
getting the mail to their home. And I know they wouldn't
have any number of the hundreds of composites, plastics
or other building materials used in the construction of
their home. I could go on and on...
-
- You know, I guess tree huggers are more perfect
people. Perhaps they really are saints saving us all. If
not for them I would not be able to live with myself. I'm
glad I'm paying the (same) fee to get my registration
tags. This way I can help the cause by putting more
dollars into the state funding programs which they can
use to ban me from what I am far too weak to refrain
from. I'll have to be sure to thank the next one I find
for the opportunity to receive the help they are
providing to me.
-
- Find a tree hugger and let him/her take a ride on
your 2 stroke (or any) quad. Count in seconds NOT minutes
the time it takes to produce an eye watering, ear to ear
grin across their two-sided faces. Listen carefully to
their experience of the ride. Capture key works like fun,
exciting, thrilling and powerful. These are words and
experiences that are likely new to them. Listen carefully
for any phrase which might be derogatory like "I felt bad
making pollution" or "I couldn't in good conscience enjoy
the ride because I was more worried about the effect this
was having on the environment." I doubt the topic will
even come up. Be sure to later tell others of their
experience aboard the pleasure producing, no other
purpose in the world except to have fun on, truly a work
of art and a gift from God (if not Japan or USA) machine.
-
- Then secretly, vow to yourself to never let them ride
it again, because you in good conscience can not let them
introduce pollution into the environment on your account
because you'll be too busy spreading the work (aboard
your quad) to others about the terrible things that come
out the pleasure producing, bad for the environment,
should have been banned long ago rolling political and
environmental nightmare.
-
- I must have the most awesome ported and piped, high
output weed wacker on the planet. It's bored carb fills
the higher compression cylinder to produce unreal RPM's.
It'll cut down a tree with its chain (instead of cord)
cutter. Add to that my high output 2 stroke leaf blower
which will blow a bowling ball across my lawn, and I
don't want to forget about my 2 stroke pressure washer
which was originally rated at 850 PSI, but now must
produce at least triple that since it'll take the Stucko
off the side of my house and remove Greenpeace stickers
with ease; almost like it has a mind of its own. Remind
me to never lend these things out to anyone who wastes
precious resources. And while you're at it remind me to
get rid of these terrible, terrible things which have
obviously twisted my perception of what's right and
what's wrong. But wait a minute I burn race gas in all my
2 strokes - it doesn't have MTBE... oops, it's got lead
in it.
-
- I wonder what will happen if they decided to ban
designer coffee. I'm sure the true enviro-guru must drink
it out of a glass.
