I remember my first Earth Day at Junior High. They really went all out, and shut the normal teaching down for the day. They cancelled all classes. The morning was spent in assemblies. Three hours of nothing but assemblies on what “pollution” was, and how bad we humans were, and last but not least, how we could be part of the solution instead of part of the problem™.
I was paying more attention to the other students than to the propaganda. I watched as normally bad boys were transformed into glassy-eyed zombies. At lunch, they were all jabbering about how bad the pollution was, and yadda.
In the afternoon, they pushed a little harder, and told all the students that they were going to show their devotion to the cause by going out into the school yard, and spending the afternoon picking up litter. Yippee!!!
I went out with everyone else, and did it for about ten minutes. Then I stood up and looked all around me. Snotty girls. Bad boys. People you’d never dream of doing this kind of thing on their own just mindlessly doing what they’ve been told. It hit me like a ton of bricks. We’ve all been had!!!
Realizing this, I made my way to the edge of the property, and when no one was looking (even with 500 kids and a couple dozen teachers present, they were so bent over picking up somebody else’s schmutz that there were long periods when nobody could see me) I crossed the street, and ducked behind a house.
I walked home, and got there maybe 1:30. When I walked in, my mom (a good salt-of-the-earth Goldwater Republican) asked my why I was home so early. I told her the the whole story. She rolled her eyes.
Ladies and gentlemen, there’s something pernicious in a totalitarian way about the entire environmental movement, and it’s been that way for a long time. Maybe this true anecdote can help illustrate why they can’t be trusted.
So anyone have stories of your own to share?

As an aside, everyone should be aware that Earth Day is Lenin’s Birthday.
Addition by Bob in Breckenridge:
We know the libturd environmentalists will gather all around the Earth today in an attempt to remind us all that our planet is so fragile that we need to know that we need them to make sure we remember to “save the planet”.
Of course, these sanctimonious, pretentious, hypocritical libtard assholes/slobs will leave a mess for someone else to clean up after they get done telling us all that we need to clean up the planet ASAP.
Now, with all that being said, here’s a great video by George Carlin ripping to shreds these liberals (including Algore and a certain 57 year old comic book reading, pony-tailed, bicycle riding, washed-up ukulele playing douchebag and his dimwitted minions) who have the gall to think that we can actually destroy our planet…
