Perhaps a professor at a state university should check his language at the door. (Language… see what I did there?) The least you could do is utilize the degree your parents paid for, you oozing hemorrhoid.

As luck would have it, the sawyers were able to continue in on foot all of two miles in and cut away, since the real equipment on jobs like those are always kept on site.

I hope the hippies get charged for the damage they did to the state roadway, too. Make them refill it by hand with trowels and a 5 lb dildo on a stick to tamp the dirt and slap each other in the face with.

As far as salmon goes, it’s illegal to cut the trees in riparian zones in Oregon. The spotted owl may be another species, but lo and behold they somehow produce offspring with barred owls. Unlike mules, the sparred owl is able to reproduce. (What if black people are really a different species?) And lastly, the marbled murrelet is a dumb animal, as it only lays one egg a few miles inland, and always closer to the top of the trees. Hippies think Darwinism ought to be taught in public schools in lieu of creationism, but heaven forbid it actually follow its course. Hypocrites.

Wait, let me rephrase that.

Fucking hippies.

As an aside, I found it funny that it was mostly people from out of state protesting on a state forest.

“**PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN, ALL MONEY RECEIVED NOW GOES TO LEGAL FUND!**” — from the forest defense now site…. By “legal fund,” do they mean to pay off their misdemeanor fines because they spent all their cash on pot?

May I suggest blowing up this comments thread and starting over?

What about this fella? In charge of the “WSU Anime Club.” I didn’t realize that there were that many ways to draw a cow…

GW Hayduke…isn’t that from the Monkey Wrench Gang? Yes, I’ve read all of Edward Abbey’s books, and appreciate that they are works of fiction. That link to the professors website is comical, how does a pansy liberal like that survive in Pullman? I know that the locals ride cows to their classes, what does he ride in? Probably a hybrid, covered in cow manure, flung by self-respecting students. It sure ain’t Christian to judge a stranger, but I just hate looking at him.

I was going to say something about using guns to shatter the kneecaps of the protesters, but I’ve decided it would be much better to just find them, bring some rotten butter, and throw it at them.

You’re a fucking douche bag of the most virulent and ignorant kind.

Did baby’s feelings get hurt? I guess it can be a rude awakening to find out that no one else is really that impressed by the juvenile antics of self-absorbed poseurs who fancy themselves engaged in some twilight struggle against the forces of evil.

And you, if you're using your real email address, are Christopher Arigo, an assistant professor of english at WSU. You write poetry, and your interests include: "Ecopoetics and anticivilization theory, Ethnopoetics (especially in regards to hunter/gatherer cultures) and Ecocriticism." And you look like a douchebag. I hope your poetry is better than your trolling.

The mistake you’re making is assuming that these protests are actually about the environment; They’re not. What they’re really about is giving a bunch of self-righteous 20-something narcissists an excuse to go out and pretend like they matter.
