When you're done telling yourself how good of a person you are for taking a stand on an issue we created because we didn't want Jews in our country either after WWII, may I remind you that the last time the US had a Republican president and a terrorist attack, we murdered 4.5 million people.

That's still ongoing. ISIS exists because of OUR actions.

Which still doesn't hold a candle to the countless people who will be dying in the coming decades in the least developed parts of the world thanks to us completely abandoning our responsibility to mitigate global warming, as a country that produces a quarter of all global pollution/waste, 5x the global average per capita.

A truly astounding number, taking into account that we are a country that doesn't even produce much of anything anymore. At least China makes shit.

We pollute for FUN.

A situation that could very well have been avoided if another 1000 people bothered to show up to vote for Gore in Florida instead of sticking to their 'principles'.

But I'm glad you got to get your figurative rocks off taking a stand. It's not you and your ilk playing brinkmanship in this election could very well result in the US diving off a cliff into full on climate change denial that will kill billions in the coming decades.

Who cares, right? The important thing is, you're fighting for a cause. It matters, by extension, YOU matter.

Real happy for you.
