My parents didn't want me to be vegan -- always pushed me to eat meat. "It's just soup!" "But, Mom, there's a big pork hock in it." "Don't eat that, just enjoy the veggies in it." Like that.
I would tell her this, "Suppose I cook up a nice soup and as I ladle it out into your bowl you notice that my underwear is in the pot? Can I tell you to not eat my gotchies but enjoy the rest of the soup?" She didn't get it. Meat was life to her. This global warming debate is like that. We have these folks saying, "What's a little carbon cloud from China, breath the air for crissakes." They're saying, you know, ignore, nay, enjoy the nuance of Eau du Fruit de Looms wafting in your oxygen. To me it's not about if we're reaching the so-called tipping point. I think we're near or passed it, but to complain about it NOW, when, like for 200 years, we've been spewing every manner of filth into ocean and atmosphere is a cruel twisting of the knife in Mother Nature's back. Howzbout you go camping, hike for three days, get above the tree line, find a flat spot, pitch a tent, thank God for the glorious display of beauty, grab a cup and walk to the stream for a drink. Dip it into the stream. Ah, pure mountain water, but wait, who's that sumbitch pissing just twenty yards up-stream? Why, I think I'll kill the infidel. I mean whoever saw the first person pissing in a stream should have stopped that practice right on the spot, eh? Just would have taken a well thrown rock, and maybe we wouldn't have six billion people pretending that mercury in tuna fish ain't so bad a price to pay for modern life. It's not the bottom of the slippery slope that rankles me -- it's that first step onto it. Are we humans contributing to global warming by 80% compared to nature's 20%, or is it that we're doing only 1% damage? WHO CARES! STOP PISSING IN MY STREAM. Hell, one molecule of turd in a hundred million gallons of water is TOO MUCH UNDERWEAR IN THE SOUP. An airplane with three guys in it crashed into a major reservoir for Napa, CA where I lived at the time. For YEARS, they couldn't find the bodies or plane. I called the tap water "Dead Man's Soup." Then there's that joke about the guy offering a woman at the bar $5,000 for sex. She's never done it for money before, but hey, five big clams is hard to ignore, so she accepts the offer. In the motel room, the guy says, "I was lying about the money. I only have $50." She's miffed, says she's no whore. He says, "We already established that. Now we're just talking about price." Like that, when I throw away my Styrofoam fast food containers, when I toss my old batteries, when I dump my crankcase oil "out in the vacant lot," or when I, for instance, piss into the public's flowing mindset -- even if the piss if anti-Falwell flavored -- who am I to throw any stone at anyone? Ask not from whom does the globe warm, it warms from we. And until we taste the still-dilute redolence of industry in our water and air, until we become outraged at upstream pissers, until someone goes up to Adam and smacks him a good one in the puss and says spit that apple out of your mouth, we're all going to be served underwear soup.
