As Hitler is to evil, Mothra is to good. Or maybe I mean Gamera. ---

But you can’t hold a whole species responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted kaiju. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole ecosystem? And if the whole ecosystem is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our biosphere in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen! ---

Like the kaiju are any worse than George Bush. Sure, they have wrecked Tokyo, but Shrub wrecked two countries AND tanked the economy! ---

They are instruments of God’s wraith. As He sent the waters to drown the wicked, he now sends the kaiju. ---

Destroying cities like Santa Clara is an argument for more kaijus, not fewer. ---

If they outlaw kaiju, then only outlaws will have kaiju. ---
