[kpete]

Not. Enough. Facepalm. In. The. FUCKING! UNIVERSE!

I. CAN'T. EVEN.

He asked, “What good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers?”

3. You unlock this door with the key of imagination.

Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

We'll all go to hell and die with lots of money in the Bahamas as they sink under the waves...nice!

6. I know. I know. It's not The Onion. But it should be.

[Ilsa]

7. Hubby thought this was a fakery or Onion

article. It is simply unfathomable.

"Conversely, what good does it do to bring humanity out of poverty with oil production if the planet broils under green house gases?"

8. O course we all know when this f-wad cries for "humanity suffering"

He is referring to Corporate humanity, not human humanity.
