   Angela Gurley of Ketchum Public Relations, which handled the release, said the release was made as eco-friendly as possible.

   “The paper itself – the actual one-page letter – was on recycled paper,” she said. “And we did make sure it was pushed down to one page, so it wasn’t utilizing multiple pieces of paper.”

   *shakes head in awe and wonder* This isn’t hard to believe – the idiocy is beyond belief. Common sense says that the one-page letter(printed on recycled paper and shrunk to fit, mind you) would be enough to get the point across. I guess that’s why common sense isn’t so common any more.

   Was it hand delivered by a 300 lb delivery boy riding a smoke-belching 2-stroke scooter?

   Speaking of green thinking, do you know there is a “Green Burial” organization?

   The moonbats are nout in force since BO as elected. They’ve grown really brave!

   Dude, if the paper and ink are soy based, it could make a nice snack, all that fiber content. Or, taking a tip from Cheryl Crow, the letter could be re-cycled again for yet another purpose.

   There may be an opportunity to cash in on an eco-backlash. I think I’ll open a restaurant named Garden of Hedon and make everything with trans fats, and serve huge portions. Chap, can you help me with the paperwork?

   Lots, evidently, if you’re Toronto’s Better Buildings Partnership.

   Now we need to establish the Toronto Better Beings Partnership, and be sure to keep these jokers out of the gene pool.

    And yet I get my gun show invitations/announcments on a single sheet of paper folded in thirds and taped closed. I’m apparently out of touch since I’m a white, middle-aged well-seasoned, heterosexual, Christian male who owns guns, carries guns, goes to gun shows, eats meat, and works 40+ hour weeks after retiring from the military.

    Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force! Eco-nuts are crazy. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!

    Can I buy that Lego piece on E-bay yet? I would like it shipped in bubble wrap, in a cardboard box, and use extra paper for the stuffing please. Wouldn’t want a collectable lego piece to get damaged. Screw the earth, I just like legos!

    rightwingmom: Your vacuum cleaner!?!?!?

    Kids play with them, chew on them, swallow them and then poop them out the other end, throw them, bash them with other toys and their own heads, hands and feet!

    Your vacuum cleaner is NOTHING compared to kids!

    Here’s a review about a “green” restaurant in Bezerkley . . .
    http://www.eastbayexpress.com/gyrobase/from_the_compost_bin_to_the_dinner_table/Content?oid=954044

    that takes the “recycling” fad just a bit too far, for my stomach anyway. Maybe eating this kind of crap is what makes ‘em nuts out there. I guess paying for it makes it chic, when they could get it for free by simply visiting Chéz Dump-All, fighting off the “boxcar willies” for the tastiest morsels.

    Hopefully, the Lego and the plastic wrap were made with plastics derived from Middle East peteroleum, shipped halfway around the world on a carbon beleching oil supertanker.

    SWEET!

    I would give up on KFC’s bland and tasteless fare in a heartbeat to eat at Garden of Hedon. Daily. Let me know when the flagship restaurant opens.

    Errah, and it was all shipped in from those “Green” factories in China by beautiful winged fairies and leprachauns riding unicorn drawn magic carpets on a rainbow and daisy lined marshmallow superhighway. . . . . Oops, Sorry I nodded off there!

    Side Story…….

    When we came back to the mainland in 1964 after 4 years in Germany, I was the only kid in my neighborhood to have Lego. All my friends loved playing with it. It beat the hell out of Tinker Toys or Lincoln Logs.

    I wish my Dad had bought the U.S. rights instead of finishing his 30 in the Air Force.

    I find the results of the Toronto Better Buildings Partnership quite positive. Apparently you just judged them by this one mailer, or your opposed to any conservation of our resources. Either is stoooopid!
