So Uncle Jawbreaker accused me the other day of being an environmentalist. I told him “No, I am not an environmentalist, but rather a naturalist.”

‘What’s the difference?” he asked.

“A naturalist is someone who is interested in and knows a lot about the natural world. An environmentalist is someone who hates people.”

    What if you just hate most people?

    Just tell JB that you’re not in favor of this and he might gain a better understanding of the difference.

    The family will be at Ocracoke in 2 weeks, and I was hoping to take the kids surf fishing at least once. According to this, it might be a little crowded. We’ll see, but you might start looking into having FDS ‘08 meet on Portsmouth or Lookout.

    Oh, the closures are all Uncle JB talks about nowadays. He’s definitely aware of the difference at this point

    I’m an environmentalist and I most definitely DO NOT hate people! Labels can be harmful.

    Since every living thing on Earth needs the environment for survival, we all are environmentalists whether we accept it or not.

    Environmentalists do hate people. They usually are rich bastards who don’t care about affordable energy because it doesn’t effect them. They want high energy prices, they want high gas prices. The eco-nazis are the dregs of humanity.

    I agree with Jim. Go ahead and carry your biodegradable bags and feel self righteous. Stop using water; bathe once a week. Fill in your pools and plant a garden. Pools use too much water and electricity with their pumps. Live under a bridge, and sleep under the moonlight. Stop burping! Park your cars and walk. Won’t make a difference at all. Bow down to the jet set enviromentalists as they look down on us.

    Go naturalists. Shut your tromp, enviros!
