Why Environmentalists Annoy Me

Classic example:

Environmentalists and green campaigners, who have attacked all the performers at the London Live Earth show, particularly Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers, say that the celebrities are among the least "green" individuals on the planet.

So instead of being thankful that they've got people donating time and talent to raise a bucket load of money and awareness for the environmentalists' cause, they instead flame everyone for not being "green" enough. Isn't that supposed to be the point -- helping people who are currently not onboard to get onboard?

Go ahead, crazy environmentalist crowd. Limit your association to people who live up to your off the grid standards. I'm sure the 12 of you could host a really kick ass solar powered fundraiser in one of your sunbaked adobe huts. Everyone knows that selective association is a great way to bring a movement into the mainstream.

Whoot whoot!
