  Warning: It Is Dangerous To Tell A Conservative They Can't Have Everything, Instantly, All The Time!

  The pacific sardine lives along the coasts of North America from Alaska to southern California. Sardines, once a major part of the California fishing industry, are now considered to be "commercially extinct."

  Another species classified as "commercially extinct" is the New England haddock. Ecologists have also been concerned about the significant reduction in finfish, the Atlantic bluefin tuna, Lake Erie cisco, and blackfins that inhabit Lakes Huron and Michigan.

  I fear for your safety!

  There is nothing more dangerous in this world than telling a Conservative that they might not be able to have an endless supply of anything!

  The hysterical rage they fly into is hazerdous to anyone standing near.

  Be prepared for screams of "Communism!" and "You hate capitalism!"

  To even suggest (even as mildly as possible!) that we may currently have an unsustainable consumption of meat, fish and oil will be met with either ridicule at best and death threats at worst.

  Please be careful!

  IS Salon officially classified as one of President Bush's "Free Speech Zones"? Are any of these discussions of sustainability allowable under the Patriot Act?

  If not I will take steps to protect myself now by publically denouncing the author of the begining quote as a traitor to the US and a terrorist sympathizer!

  I love Bush and America can eat, drink and pollute as much as it wants without end or fear of any negative consequence whatsoever.

  I love Bush!

  (please to render me to Syria for "re-education"!)
