It's Not Easy Being "Green"

Source: Off-Road.com
How can I mock thee? Let me count the ways!

It's been a little over a year since I started writing "It's Not Easy Being Green", and in that time, both myself and Off Road.com have been on the receiving end of a considerable share of hate mail from the ....ahem... "Environmental" community. Not that it comes as much of a suprise. After all, when you put out honest, credible, and brutally accurate information about socialists, terrorists, and the factually unstable, they tend to get a bit miffed. Well, OK, they tend to go ballistic and make complete and utter fools of themselves.

First CLEAR declares us as one of the top 3 (and I quote) "ANTI environmental" websites on the net.

Then Earth First's pro-bono law lizard Dave Wheeler declares me an "FBI Agent Provocateur" (no, I'm not making this up) across the frontiers of usenet.

Collectively, the staff at ORC have been labeled "Environment haters" by Friends of the Earth"

Rickii Rockett, drummer for the glam rock band "Poison", and outspoken animal rights / No Compromise activist has threatened to use the band's upcoming tour as a platform to further the animal rights cause, and campaign against Off-Road.com.

What an audience consisting mostly of 80's type headbangers dressed in black leather will think of paying $30+ for a concert condemning their choice of dress remains to be seen. .......could be a real short tour.

And let's not forget those gallant souls "Friends of Envirolink who threatened to sue us, launch letter writing campaigns (killing off many trees in the process) and a wealth of other equally futile acts of desperation against us. Who are these self righteous crusaders of justice?

I'd like to take a few moments to return a little of that above mentioned hate mail, have a little fun at these "people's" expense and result to good old juvenile mockery. Now I know someone out there is gonna stand up and say "We gotta be better than them", and in truth we are, but lets face facts. There's nothing listed below that we all haven't thought ourselves at one time or another. The only difference is that I'm putting it on virtual paper.

Apparently made a poor business decision

Action failed

Vivisect this!

Be still my fear struck heart, militant vegetarians oppose us!!

Then get the animal out of the Bloomin' fence!

God knows the place is full of em'

No, I can't, this is just too damn funny.....

Beware, for they shalt pummel you with acronyms!

Can't spell but hey, trust'em anyway.....

Animals ARE a Resource!

Yup, we watch'em here in the states too...from our Of-Road Vehicles!!!!!

OH MY!!!

An animal has the right to sit still on my plate. No more, no less.

Ethical treatment does not mean placing the value of an animal above that of a human.

Bend human population over, insert proctoscope, tell them it's their fault, repeat.

Still refuses to stand in for the primates in question.

Suddenly I just got all warm and fuzzy inside.....

How about "NHOSD" Nutrition and Health Over Starvation and Death

I'd worry about the people over there killing each other first.

Put them back.

Biased literature for a captive audience?

Want one? Then let us manage the forests!

Forfeiting All Rights of Man (FARM)

Not far enough, keep going till you hit water. Then swim.

For Humans! Next......

I like my cat a lot, can I join too?

Why is it that "Futurian" type people want us to revert to the living conditions of...oh...say 60,000,000 BC?

They hate us, they REALLY hate us! And it makes us proud.

Must feel like monkeys after Envirolink was quoted as having "no real position on environmental issues".

No thanks, I prefer steak. Just bring the cow. I'll eat what I want, and ride the rest home.

Communist parties of North America? Not much difference.

I wonder why....

In Defense of Humans!

Yummmmmm.......mmmMEAT!!!! Bloody red MEAT!! Meat, the wonder food! It comes from cows and other such animals! It doesn't need fertilizer that can poison the ecosystem, it's naturally grown, it's.........MEAT! Meat is Neat! Got Meat?

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!! Off-Road.com, in conjunction with the American Cattleman's Association present a weekend filled with spills, chills and MEAT!!!! See T-Bone go up against ground chuck in a head to head grudge match! Thrill to the wonders of Pork, the other white meat! And be sure not to miss the Top Round Winternationals sponsored by Vons, Alphea Beta, and the IGA. Tickets available at all Ticketron outlets and Green piece everywhere!!!!!!

No primates were harmed in the production of this column. Get over it.

We promise not to harm any tigers while off-roading. Now go away.

For some people, the ALF just isn't radical enough.

....Right until they need "Modern" medical care. Suddenly EVERYTHING looks different....

See above plate reference.

See above plate reference.

Got one left, vivisect it too.

Inc. As in PROFIT?????

No intelligence either. Come NC, join our reindeer games!

Get a job and you'll better occupy your time. The 60's are over.

Just got Homesite? (it's free)

Is anyone in Victoria BC gainfully employed? Just curious....

The name says it all.

REVOLUTION BROTHERS & SISTERS!!! Wait....who's opressin' us this week?

No contract huh? Spend more time playing, less protesting, and soon young jedi, the power of the force will be yours!

This is precious. Do they all sit around a little table growling and squeaking for world peace? I'll bet the Lion wins...and he's a CARNIVOR!!! BWAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!

My poultry concerns are fully addressed by KFC thanks.

First get statehood, then worry about it.

I guess takeout steak from the lower 48's kind'a far huh?

With all this "Inc" flowing here, it can't be good for the environment ;-)

...and there are approximately 16.7 million other colors to choose from too.

And your malnourished point is.........?

Yup, get minors involved in a criminal activity. Real intelligent.

  • Bunny Huggers' Gazette

Hugging a bunny upsets it's natural life cycle, causes it stress, and will ultimately lead to the extinction of the species. I'm tellin the ALF on you!!!.

  • Citizens for Animal Rights Eugene (Eugene, OR)

Citizens for Human Rights - everywhere else.

  • Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade - San Francisco (caft-sf)

Working hard to freeze an Eskimo to death apparently.

  • Ferrets R #1 Shelter and Rescue (US-VA)

Newsflash people, your buddies just liberated a few thousand of their cousins in England. Got most of them killed in the process, and wreaked havok on the local ecosystem. Smooth move......not.

  • Friends Of Animals (US-Atlanta, GA)

See above cat reference

  • Idaho Coalition United for Bears

Arizona Nudist Coalition is united bare!

  • Illinois Animal Action

What action in particular?

  • National Council for Excellence in Zoo Animal Management

Here's a group with more time on their hands than I have.

  • New England Animal Action

See above

  • Northwoods Animal Alliance (Duluth MN)

OK, you got an animal and you're allied with it.....now what?

  • San Diego Animal Advocates

Did the LA gangs migrate south?

  • Vegetarian Society of Georgia

So eat a plant and quit whining!


Yet despite all their misguided enthusiasm, I do have to stand up and salute these groups for having enough huevos to get active and put their names, time and effort behind a cause they believe in. It's my hope that one day all of us will have the conviction to do the same.
