  2. Man, those fries look good!

    My environmental philosophy tends toward the radical side, but burning down homes doesn’t do anyone any good. It also scares fence-sitters into stereotyping all “tree-huggers” as people-hating extremists. This is the effect of all radicals, I guess.

  6. Yes! I wonder how long it would take for the damage those houses would have done to the local environment to equal the damage done by burning them down.
