.....only dream, that it would be second only to me winning the lotto, to have this ass clown get in my face. (sigh)

I'd love to run into Matt in the grocery store.  He has a problem with paper grocery bags? Paper comes from trees. Can you say "RENEWABLE resource"???

Does Lauer expect mothers shopping for families of 5 or 6 to buy enough of the canvas bags to hold all her groceries?

Give me a break! I reuse my plastic grocery bags for my wastebaskets. I use the paper ones to hold my newspapers and junk mail and stuff for the recycling pickup. That's my contribution to the effort. Everyone does what they can, and Matt Lauer has no business deciding whose efforts are worthwhile and whose aren't.

TO CATCH AN ENVIRONMENTAL PREDATOR.

"Hi there, have a seat.  So what makes you come here to this grocery store?  I see you planned on abducting some paper bags."

I hope he catches up with me after double-bagging my red meat and other mass-produced goodies and loading them in the back of my SUV.  I'd give him such an earful about how environmentalism is a misanthropic hoax that he'll wish he had stayed home.

Oh, if only Lauer would rear his ever-balding little head while I was grocery shopping! I'm seldom in a good mood participating in this task in the first place, but his ambush "journalism" would push me right over the edge. Does anyone else think he'd stand up to a bodycheck into frozen foods?

There should be a day set aside when we all do the opposite of what these green fools do. I propose we smoke, drive around in huge vehicles, use lots of electricity, don't recycle, eat red meat...

It's none of the left's business what we do in our private lives. They can all go $#%*@.

I saw Matt this morning at our local Safeway. He was disguised as a meatloaf so you had to look closely, but it was him alright.

Liberal's Basic Rule For Discourse: I don't care if you agree with my premises, but I demand that you agree with my conclusions.

Oh man would I love to have him approach me in a store.

"Do you always use plastic bags?" - Lauer

"I use whatever damn bag I get for free, Funny how all you eco-maniacs are complaining about plastic bags when you were the people who got eveyone to switch away from paper bags which are biodegradeable! Doesn't make much sense Matt. But no worries I just throw my plastic bags right in the trash"

I would then proceed to throw brand new bags in the trash in front of him and state "I never recycle either because that is Bullshit"

I would wait for him to get hysterical and then laugh in his face. "Matt your so Glib"

The Anti "Man-Made" Global Warming Resource

The United States consumes 9,253,000 barrels of oil per day for motor fuel. The total consumption is 20,687,000 barrels/day. The 12 million barrel/year  figure cited without reference, by Lauer,  seems rather insignificant (and is very likely a nonsense number).

Stores stopped using paper bags some time ago because tree huggers complained. Now the target is plastic.

Well people are free to use their own (soon to be rancid) canvas bags.  Very few people do.  That's a reflection of the profound disinterest in this nonsense.

A friend of mine reuses plastic bags to clean up after his dog when he walks her (at a local park). I asked him if he was motivated by being a good steward of the planet or by preventing other people from stepping in his dog's daily contribution. I got a lecture how dog poop ruins grass, the soil, making it unfriendly to plant growth. As he was cleaning up after his dog, I asked him if he knew that it takes about 300 years for that plastic bag to decompose. He didn't really care because, as he said, it was headed for a landfill. It seems out of sight really is out of mind when it comes to folks who just 'want to do their part.'

This is HDTV! It's got better resolution than the real world!

Lauer:  "You're using plastic bags, you Earth-despoiling beyotch!"

Me:  "Are you gonna carry all of my groceries from the store to my car and then into my house?"

Lauer:  "No."

Me:  "Then shut the @#$% up!" 

Whatever you can use to get government control over the masses and business is facism.

So far, guilt has been the left's best tactic. Think about it: envirophobia, homophobia, nativism, racism, sexism, all the
"-isms,"only serve to control you. The isms channel you toward the correct path, the correct thinking, the much ballyhooed "mainstream" of Al Gore fame.

One shivers to think of a day when guilt no longer gets them what they want: green laws, tolerance laws, hate crime laws, thermostat control, etc. All of these laws only facilitate fascist control of the masses.

Once we shed our shame, just watch how fast guns are drawn on us by government. That day is fast approaching if we do not stand up to guilt-based fascism and defeat the left.
