Your implication that it's hypocrisy to support a policy without direct, personal activity in that policy is false. You know this to be true, but it's an easy paper target, so you keep whanging away at it in order to look like a good little activist.

You are only hurting the cause. If you have the teeth for it, go find something real to attack. Goddamn but there's a lot of it out there.

I'm not sure what issue you're responding to here, but there is something a little unseemly about being "willing to fight to the last drop of someone else's blood."

And folks who get all shook up about environmental causes while living lives that have a carbon footprint ten times bigger than the rest of us are on somewhat shaky ground as well.
