[lit-ideas] Re: The continuation of Realpolitik -- a rant

If you think plastic water bottles are an eco-hobgoblin, then you're not paying 
attention even slightly.  Plastic water bottles are a monster huge 
problem.  What do you think happens to those bottles once they're emptied 
out?  They kind of vaporize and go to hobgoblin land?
 
For Mike, you're right about the sheep.  I'll stop picking on them.  
They're actually cute little fuzzy things who just do their little thing in the 
world.  Lemmings are a better metaphor, running off that cliff just 
because everybody else is doing it.  The metaphor does end with the word 
'worship' but if lemmings were capable of worship, and who knows, maybe they 
are, they'd do it only because everybody else is doing it.
