[MD] SOM's defect comes home to roost

[markhsmit]

Ron and Arlo,

I love the way some will resort to hyperbole to make a point.  Black
or White.  Environmentalism tells us how we should live, Capitalism 
does not.  You can be rich, you can be poor, your choice.  You can live in
a little shack.  The precious earth that you want to hike in, for others is 
a shopping mall.  What's better a mall or a park?  Your opinion does not make
it so.  Quality is way beyond our attempts to control, in fact it is out of control.

If such environmentalists want to clean the river, by all means, they should
go right out and clean it.  Oops somebody threw something in the river
again.  Well go out again and clean it.  Stop flying your lear jets around
and driving in SUVs.  Stop telling other people how they should live.

Mark

You seem to prefer the days of dumping raw sewage in the streets and 
the widespread plague of diseases that accompany it.

[Arlo]
Yeah, I wonder how many curse those fucking commie environmentalists 
in Chicago for "forcing" businesses to clean up a river they polluted 
so heavily it caught on fire. Those tyrannists who immorally coerced 
those noble capitalists to not dump tons of remains, chemicals, 
paint, decaying animals, etc. into a river that "the people" had this 
absurd notion somehow "belonged to them all". Why every time I hear 
about how those fucking whacko environmentalists destroyed Chicago 
with their evil schemes and plans to enslave the world (why I hear 
their motto was "Clean the river today, Enslave the world tomorrow!") 
it makes me want to cry. And now those poor capitalists in Chicago, 
living under communist laws that inhibit their freedom to dump their 
garbage into the river...

Arlo and Iacknowledged this sad aspect too.

[Arlo]
Nah, I told you, Ron, there is no place for people like us in this 
"war". So choose you side, either come out screaming about how 
"parasitic man is causing the sky to fall", or beat the drums of 
"evil freedom-hatin' one worlders". Mark's reply proved this, that's 
all they want to hear. I mean, when someone says "reasonable 
environmentalism is an oxymoron", its time to check your brain at the 
door, choose an ideology and come out screaming slogans.
