I find it rather humorous that the guy who runs the blog drives around in a fully-optioned Toyota 4-Runner (15 city, 18 highway) but claims to love the trees. He's sitting in his comfortable house, driving a luxury SUV, basically doing everything that one would expect from a trendy yuppie. He's not a hippie, he's a wanna-be.

It's the over-zealous hippies that give the rest of us a bad name. Damn hippies.

I really don't care enough about the issue to look into it, but I'm sure there's a good reason for that.

We need the hippies to feed to the aliens. Think of the aliens.

Not at all. People becoming involved in politics and their community, standing together for a cause, etc. It's really pretty damn cool.

You need to get high. Hippies are much more fun if you can loosen your anchor to reality.

do you hate hippies or activists

or both

b/c in a sense you're speaking out about one or both of them, thus forwarding your thoughts on the matter to the public here at AT.

you're a hippie, dude.

woah woah woah, watch what you say now.

It's mostly the hippies - I mean, come on, they're making a big deal over a bunch of trees!!! And I believe I read that the school district said they'd plant 3 for every 1 they cut down...so in a sense, the hippies are harming their dearest mother earth in the long run.

Although, I do hate activists as a whole....hmm....I'm just a hateful kinda guy. The ANTI hippy.
