Cool.  We have a population problem as it is and I certainly wouldn't 
mind if a few less were around.  Hell, if we didn't have so many stupid
people around, we wouldn't have to worry about pollution.  I say we
should spend more money on sterilizing everyone with an IQ of less than
140 and not in perfect health.  Let's get rid of all the fat-assed lazy
jerks who are ruining our world!  Hell, we could get rid of a hundred
million or so of the worst ones by killing all the Clone owners.

Yeah, and I'm all for shutting those down too.  We certainly don't need
all the shit that they keep trying to foist on us.  And I've heard that
cows are also some of the top polluters, so we should go ahead and kill
them off as a species.  Hell, just have a big slaughter and cook all the
beasties up for a big party.  That ought to satisfy all those hungry 
little kids who fat-ass Sally Struthers keeps whining about.

Who the hell needs to drive 60 miles per hour anyway?  Sheesh, slow down
and take your time and maybe you'll enjoy life more.  Heck, if you and all
those other speed-demons will just slow down, we could all start to enjoy
our pollution-free, cow-less, low-population density world!

What?  No snappy comeback for this one?  I'll have to send in the eco-police
to wrap you in recycled paper and force you to eat tofu, bean sprouts, veggie
burgers, and all sorts of other hippy food.

Sheesh, do you think you could add just a few more lines to your .sig?
