I wonder if these folks drove to the protest in a gas powered vehicle?  Or if they've ever used electricity generated by coal?  Or if they've ever enjoyed food that was obtained in less than a 100% environmentally freindly process?  These are the same people who would protest wind farms because they kill birds and pollute the visual landscape.  Complete and absolute retards.

@jojo That's a worn-out, threadbare argument, jojo. Have fun trolling.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of others is never worn-out.  These people are beyond impractical with ideals and goals that are beyond the reach of all but the most ardent supporters, even themselves.  Noise is all they have because in the end it's their argument that's threadbare.

Sounds like seven people need to go find a job instead of wasting their time. Idle hands are the devil's workshop!!
