Any body have a "bumper sticker" to contribute?

I was facing a Feb. 7th deadline for an article yesterday and didn't have time to add any commentary to my first "Bumper Sticker" post. Here is a bit of what I was thinking:

I love words, and the potential "power" of words (which power can be used for good or for ill....) In reading the interesting, varied, thoughtful, insightful, many-sided, and sometimes emotional posts on this Global Warming forum, the idea came to me that in addition to our commentaries and discussions, it could be fun, creative, and useful to run a thread posting just succinct one or two-liner "bumper sticker" type ideas that relate in one way or another to the Global Warming/Earth Changes issues. --and like "bumper stickers" the kernels of thought might be serious or humorous or philosophical or ironic..., from various sides and subjects of the issues.

-- attention-getting, little brief thoughts, like affirmations, that we could choose to carry in our minds for a while, and ponder, or to entertain, or to get a mind thinking in a new direction--(an epiphany of sorts! ) --and, as bumper stickers sometimes do, a way to express a thought-provoking idea, without "personal" insult. After all, "I read it on a bumper sticker!"

I think posting "bumper stickers" we actually see, or those we use our creative juices to make up ( we have plenty of individual thinking and creativity here on the McDougall Board ) , could be entertaining, thought-provoking, and even fun.

Whaddaya' think? Any body have a "bumper sticker" to contribute?

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention"

Carroll, switching to grass fed beef will only change the problem. We may use some less fertilizers and pesticides for corn, and have a bit fewer of the nasty feedlots. However, the ranchers will only insist on grazing their cattle on much more of our federal lands at the expense of the taxpayer, and more of the rainforests will be cut down to make pasture for the methane producing animals. This degrades the ecosystem terribly. I believe much of the fast food beef comes from Brazil. It's just awful.

Maybe if people insist on grass fed beef, they should keep them in the front yard.
