Green Peace

Whenever the Green Peace peoples come up to talk to me, I ask one question right away.

Are you vegetarian?

They never are. How can you be a champion for the environment and still eat animals?

If you want to eat cow parts, that is fine. Just don't go preaching to me about saving the environment.

My latest encounter got me thinking. What if there was a plan to fix things in the order of greatest need? Optimized activism if you will. A good chunk of activist folks are generally on the same page with each other on many things. What if they teamed up and attacked a single item all at once?

That would require a lot of organization and if there is one thing I have learned lately, it is that organizations are not very good at organizing. So it'll never happen.

btw. #1 on my list would be.. Get people to stop smoking chronically.. Or to make the hippy folk feel better.. Get people to stop smoking tobacco.
