Pollution Propoganda

You better get that littering out of the way. Remember the toxic waste you’ve been meaning to throw out now for a few months? Well, get cracking. Time is wasting. Before you know it you won’t be able to.

All of a sudden everyone cares about the environment. No longer are we discussing how the environment is deteriorating. Now everyone is trying to figure out what they can do.

I’m sure Captain Planet will get some sort of credit for all this.

Perhaps we should be asking what we need to save the earth from? The answer everyone gives is "ourselves," referring to the human race but actually meaning "rich white people." Think about it, if you needed to be saved from me wouldn't I be the last person you ask?

Has the earth ever thought it might be part of the problem? Plus, what is it going to do if we don't save it. I think we should be showing the earth who is boss instead of appeasing its moody ways. Once you give in a little you have already lost. Look what happened with Hitler and Austria.

Either way what I am getting at is that it will soon become increasingly difficult to harm the environment. That littering fine will soon have some jail time attached to it. As people pump up their clamoring ways they will relish the opportunity to have tougher laws that will ensure people will have the environments best interest in mind.

Sure, presently there are various laws that already do this, but the difference is that many are not enforced. In addition it is only the big “crimes” that end up receiving a strong verdict. Once politicians take note that making the environment a top priority will no longer prevent you from being elected the tougher laws will shortly follow.

How can I be so certain of the future? Because dumb laws are made up all the time when the public yells loud enough. It is the same thing that happened with tobacco, drugs, immigration, welfare, child labor, women’s rights, etc.

Someone is going to save the environment somehow, and they most likely will lock up anyone in their way. The last thing you would is to be in jail cell 4 years from now wondering why you didn't contaminate the Everglades when you first thought about doing it, 5 years ago.

So go on. Throw trash out the car window. Don’t prevent forest fires. Begin using hairspray again. Make cows extra gassy. The last thing you want is regret. Stick it to the environment before you miss your chance.
