  Celebrating Crop Dusting and Sexism

  CJ, you're correct.  Typical liberal hogwash.  Take the recent events in California for example.  All you hear from liberals is "power to the people".  Until, of course, the people say or vote something the liberals don't like.  Then the "people" don't have the right to control that.  If an attractive woman bares her body for an "intellectual" liberal cause, then she is enlightened and beyond reproach.  If ANY woman bares her body for ANY cause (even if that cause is because she WISHES to be objectified) that the liberals don't agree with then it is the fault of a conservative white male.  Tracy, you are correct, many chemicals used in MANY industries are bad for the environment and its inhabitants.  For example, check the label on that couch you're sitting on and see if it contains any synthetic fibers.  (polyester, rayon, dacron, etc)  All of those are petroleum derivatives.  Believe it or not, big industry spends billions of dollars on R&D to engineer new chemicals and new products that are environmentally friendly.  There are many new insecticides on the market today that are completely biodegradeable.  I personally have no desire to harm a single animal, person, or ecosystem.  However, have you considered that farm production would decrease by 40-50% if we stopped using insecticides?  Have you considered that your vegan diet would go up in cost 300 - 400% if that happened?  Are you willing to start paying $12 for lettuce?  $30 for a plain cotton t-shirt?  Think I'm being silly?  Asian countries are already paying those prices because of the lack of farm production in that region.  I know what you're thinking.... "I already buy organic vegetables, and they're not THAT expensive."  Have you ever considered what would happen to the price of those organic vegetables if world supply was cut by 50-75% and the people who don't normally purchase organic foods were suddenly forced to because that was all that was available?You have valid arguments, I'll give you that.  Like most liberals though, you automatically assume that because you believe in something it automatically makes you right.  You see yourself as somehow enlightened and above reprise.  Most of you also believe that because YOU are the ones who care then you don't have to abide by your own rules.... When you live in an organic hemp thatch hut, full of organic hemp thatch furniture, wearing organic hemp clothing, use no other wood than rapidly renewable bamboo, eat only vegetables that you grow organically, own NOTHING derived from petroleum (plastic, rubber, plexiglass, nylon, rayon, dacron, polyester, most carpeting, etc.), feed your pets NOTHING that contains animal byproducts (good luck with that since cats and dogs are carnivores), walk to work on hemp and bamboo sandals (ALL cars are made with petroleum products in factories POWERED by petroleum or coal, even your Prius).....  THEN, AND ONLY THEN will you have the right to cast the first stone......  Yes, I know that was a ridiculous run on sentence.  I know some correcty correctorsons would come out of the wood work and bash my grammar since they can't break what I actually said.
