          The most ridiculous thing about Captain Planet was that all the villains were in it solely for the environmental destruction.

          They could have made it a critique about capitalism destroying the planet for profit, but they chose the lazy, stupid, disingenuous option. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was supposed to be that way till corpos got a hold of it.

    These traitorous motherfuckers just won’t stop trying to sell our country to the highest bidder. Selling public lands to petro-conglomerates is likely irreversible without radical political change. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

    These motherfuckers get all pissed when a flag gets burnt but go ahead and ruin our beautiful world renowned national parks no problem.

      The complaint should not be “I don’t benefit financially.” The complaint should be “This is wrong.”

    So if Democrats shut down government funding in a couple of weeks, which automatically closes national parks, will it also stop drilling?

    Regardless, please Democrats, have a spine.
