Biodegradable-- who cares?

Andrew recently purchased some environmentally safe nappy sacks to dispose of Evan's shizz. It's great that they come in recycled packaging and all that-- but, seriously-- who cares if the bags themselves are biodegradable when the Huggies in them are not? What kind of half-assed hippie invented this? I mean, if you truly CARE about the environment, wouldn't it be better to dig a hole in your yard, go crap in it, let the manure mature, and then use it as compost fertilizer for your organic beets?

Put that in your bong and smoke it, you gutless tree huggers! You'll pay e5.65 for a pint of Ben and Jerry's that isn't packed in a recyclable carton, but you won't admit it.

True freedom comes from wrestling with one's contradictions and then admitting that deep down, we're all a bunch of lying pikers playing at being nice neighbors, good citizens, and grown-ups.

I'm now going outside for a walk in the park. I'll be carrying a large book of matches, an axe, and a gigantic log-lifting crane.
