"Get Lost, Greenpeace"

A rant against environmentalists with some teeth:

Does it ever even cross their minds that they may be fallible, like other humans?

It certainly doesn't cross their lips. Not an iota of self-doubt infects the pronunciamentos of their spokesmen. Do they ever say should when they can say must? Shoppers must (plastic bags and food-miles), drivers must (gas-guzzlers, any cars of almost any sort), airline passengers must (stay on the ground), electricity-users must (switch off), and, of course and endlessly, governments must.
