You know, I have a real quandary on my hands at times. Because I actually agree with most of the goals of the alarmists, while I despise their methods and rhetorical bullshit. So even a soft target like GIGO, who obviously suffers from the language barrier, I just don’t enjoy mocking him. If it was up to me, we would have safe clean nuclear power, clean underground coal burning only, until we don’t need any coal period, everybody would be planting trees, laws would be enforced to protect the planet from destruction, and solar energy would have the same funding as the motherfucking war machines of the entire planet. We could brew our own ethanol to run cars on, and all trucks and ships would be hybrids. Jets would fly on hydrogen only, and oil spills would never happen again. Fuck you fossil fuel assholes. Fuck you Exxon. And fuck you Nixon while I am at it. That being said

What the fuck? I consider anyone who spends the amount of time GIGO does for the cause, to be required to have a goddamn editor. If I was behind GIGO and his style of spamming every topic over and over, I would die of embarrassment. Seriously. Goddamn, it’s frightening. And yet, like I say, I think his heart is actually in it, and he really is scared and desperate, he thinks the world is going to die. But then

And I am like, fuck, it’s just such an easy target.
