Has This Show Made Me Less Patriotic?

So I find my self getting absolutely disgusted with the shape of the country. Don't get me wrong, I have never been thrilled about Bush (or Shrub, as my Dad likes to call him) and the Imbecile Cheney being in office. But since Urinetown, I have really started to worry about things like my carbon footprint and recycling, etc. and the lack of action to correct these major environmental issues going on in the good ole' U.S. of A. (see my previous post about the bee-nappings for an example). I know you Flagaphiles will be outraged reading this (and I really don't mean to break your crayons), but lets face it... this country is a wreck! Lets not get into the war (I mean no one can possibly think we are going to "win", but I do respect the people who are brave enough to try). Could it be that Al Gore is right? As stupid as it sounds, what if the earth does "have a fever"? What does that mean for us?

Then the question becomes... how far do I take it? I don't want to get all crunchy and start wearing those ugly Berks (No offense to the lesbians out there... I'm sure they look pretty on you) but it seems like it is one way or the other. There has to be a happy medium. I was at Homo Depot the other day and had a crap-load of chemicals to kill every living thing in my yard (weeds, bees, mosquitoes, those ugly things that are eating the leaves on my Magnolias) and I put them back. I may still go back and get some of them (I REALLY hate mosquitoes), but I started thinking about the creek behind my house and what these chemicals could be doing to the water in it and the ramifications that may have for every living thing that depends on that water. I HAVE seen raccoons drinking from it. And, as my dog Beau can attest to (because he likes to bring them to me as a gift), there are hoards (swarms? schools?) of turtles living in and around it. What is a guy to do?

I am going to go crazy here! ARRRGGGHHH! So for now... run free little turtles! Run free! But I say to all those mosquitoes reading this blog... your asses are mine!!!!

Now you can go back to surfing for porn.
