Too young to remember? You think there are a lot of 8 year olds reading Jezebel or something?

Tragically, if you look at the numbers, yes, it is. It’s a lot easier to get mad at one asshole with a green lawn than to admit that we’re ALL taking part in unsustainable industries. It hurts, too, because a common consumer like you or I are going to feel very powerless to have any effect on any of this. But…

That way, the donors give more and women know exactly where…

I work for a government agency. I testify some times. In the training for those of us who testify we were told many times that ALL hearings are for show. Legislators already made up their minds (in all matters and subjects, not only PP). They just like being “tough” in public.
