Visual Moral Equivalance






To all the new-age prophets of global commerce, repeat after me:

"The US Marines who landed on Iwo Jima were BRAVER than college students with clipboards,
The US Marines who landed on Iwo Jima were BRAVER than college students with clipboards,
The US Marines who landed on Iwo Jima were BRAVER than college students with clipboards."

Now, roll over and assume Raped Lamb position. Repeat after me:

"The Japanese empire was a greater threat to American security than carbon footprints,
The Japanese empire was a greater threat to American security than carbon footprints,
The Japanese empire was a greater threat to American security than carbon footprints."

Now exhale and repeat:

"Al Gore is a politician, not a scientist.
Al Gore is a politician, not a scientist.
Al Gore is a politician, not a scientist."

There.

Doesn't reality feel nice?
