Making ASSumptions

I was at a business today and they complained that in spite of management instruction, company policy books, posters, peer pressure and a deposit... some of the employees still throw pop cans in the garbage instead of the recycle bin.
Some people are just you stupid or too ignorant and assholic to ever "get it". You can only hope a few of them think its all about the nickle...

$1:
The oil and gas industry has a lot more money than the environmental activists, Mr. Battershill says, but the activists appear to be winning the PR war — as witnessed by the decision Monday of the Rockefeller family, which made a vast fortune on oil, to sell all their oil assets.
What an utter load of crap. First off we all know that actors and musicians are smarter than the rest of us or they wouldn't have become, actors and musicians the most intelligent professions on the planet so, we should blindly follow them.
(sarcasm off)
Secondly, I'm supposed to be utterly in awe of the Rockefeller's selling their oils assets to save the planet.
Sure I'm in awe, I'm in awe of the fact that people are gullible enough to believe that this blatant PR manoeuver was done for the benefit of the rest of us.
If the Rockefellers were truly concerned with the planet they would haveSHUT DOWN their oil assets instead of selling them off, making billions and dodging the heat from the uber intelligent photogenic people like Lenny DiCaprio.
Hypocrites all.

Leonardo DiCaprio sells off Malibu vacation home

Luckily he can only live in one at a time.
Does this make his message any less valid ?
Does someone have to eat out of a garbage can before we take them seriously about ending child poverty ?
He has a strong following and is bringing attention to a worthy cause. He has oodles and oodles of money and doesn't need to spend his time doing what he is doing but does it because he thinks it is the right thing to do. I respect that.
I hope he is not deterred by idiots with a big oil agenda trying to smear him.

$7 Million could have got him another pretty nice home, instead he chose to do his part. Good for him.

when DiCaprio was overflying the oilsands mining operations, he was a real prick. He had already made up his mind and wasn't interested in hearing anything but what his per-conceived notions would validate.
No I didn't get his autograph and no, I only said two words to him after he sat in the chopper and starting spouting off how bad this all is.
