Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

what are you people smoking? These "civilian terrorists" as you call them, Dennis, are the ones out there bustin' their butts so that you and I can breathe clean fresh air... so that our great- great grandchildren can also! The rainforests of the world provide the majority of our clean air, not to mention, provides certain plant life that ONLY grows in rainforests that we make certain medicines from! On a lesser note, as far as you are concerned, it also provides a habitat and certain foods for animals like the orangutan - an animal that is on the brink of extinction!
So why don't you find out all the information about a subject before you vomit up all your stupidity on a subject you obviously know nothing about!!!

Grasses and crop land plants pull more CO2 from the air than trees. Ask an agronomist. Go get a clue. While the rainforest is a vital part of the environment, it is not the be all and end all of the world.

"A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many people don't realize is the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breath.
Massive deforestation brings with it many ugly consequences-air and water pollution, soil erosion, malaria epidemics, the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the eviction and decimation of indigenous Indian tribes, and the loss of biodiversity through extinction of plants and animals. Fewer rainforests mean less rain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming.
When an acre of topical rainforest is lost, the impact on the number of plant and animal species lost and their possible uses is staggering. Scientists estimate that we are losing more than 137 species of plants and animals every single day because of rainforest deforestation.
The Amazon rainforest, the world's greatest remaining natural resource, is the most powerful and bioactively diverse natural phenomenon on the planet. It has been described as the "lungs of our planet" because it provides the essential service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. It is estimated that more than 20 percent of Earth's oxygen is produced in this area.
Over two-thirds of all the fresh water found on Earth is in the Amazon Basin's rivers, streams, and tributaries."
I got all this info and more just from reading this site:

Nestle' and many other companies out there are destroying the Earth for money- people need to wake up, and realize that yes it does affect YOU! If Greenpeace is doing all the work for you, why in the world are you complaining? You should be thankful that someone out there is working for us, fighting for our existance! Our government certainly won't do that for us!!

Honey, you forgot the world is going to blow up from Global Warming so it doesn't really matter. LOL
