Check out Sunsara Taylor, there are clips of her on YouTube, yikes, her brains are on fire, alt-left all the way.
hahahahhaha. What have I been missing? Holy cow. For reals? Wow.
There's people out there like that and I guess there always has been but now it's easier to get a bit of exposure tho her twitter doesn't look like it got enough people following for how busy she is with it.

Her and others like her do not represent the majority of liberals.  In fact she makes us cringe tho at the same time it's sort of fun to antagonize people who think like her.  Again she hardly represents most liberals, including those who consider themselves progressive.

Just so long as you and the rest of the liberals (aka progressives) realize that it works both ways.
It takes a quiver to do that.

I think that goes without saying.  There's always extremists and extremists among extremists on both sides.  Then there's always people on which ever side who make blanket claims that all on the opposite side are all the same and think alike.  It's actually quite entertaining despite the consequences.

This behavior should worry even the most ardent support of Trump (what happens when Trump gets his own man in the FBI):
"White House officials had sought the help of the bureau and other agencies investigating the Russia matter to say that the reports were wrong and that there had been no contacts, the officials said. The reports of the contacts were first published by The New York Times and CNN on February 14.
The direct communications between the White House and the FBI were unusual because of decade-old restrictions on such contacts. Such a request from the White House is a violation of procedures that limit communications with the FBI on pending investigations."

About the screaming.....

I've always considered Christian Science to put the moron in Oxymoron, but the Christian Science Monitor is pretty much the only newspaper I trust. Never have understood how or why that should be so.

I should research that.

Interesting views on how China is handling world stage events.
   http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-39061702

Smart.

I gather it may be hard for those within the US (watching a certain flavor of news stream) to realise the degraded image America is now forging for itself. Nor it’s impact. Meanwhile world-stage “bad-boy” China is smart to profit and is bumping up its image.

The article only mentions in passing how China took the high road Re committing to respect international accords on protecting our fragile environment. That was a relief to one of my biggest fears in Trumps [after all not so] strange move [given he IS the corrupt swamp monster himself] to slap respect for the environment in the face by “selling out” to big oil and putting Pruitt in charge. Not pretty. I sure get the impression a good portion of America doesn’t understand the effort and the years of work it takes to actual make an international agreement. Even if it seems a day late and a dollar short.

I cannot understand how a forum where there are a majority of US surfers isn’t more outraged at the direction the protection of the environment is going.

Wake up! I live and SUP in a place where the efforts and regulations to protect the cleanliness of the waters has paid off. Yes, it did cost industry to be more clean. No, industry can’t pay off government just to make more profit by being more dirty. We are a democracy here and the people would not stand for it. No way would the people let industry pollute by simply corrupting the government.

In the 70’s people wondered if it was safe to swim in the lake where I paddle. Now I don’t even take a water with me, I drink directly from the lake when I’m thirsty. I enjoy top quality tap water - it’s better than any bottles stuff. No way do I drink tap water in the US, at least where I go. I now so distrust “official” US messages that I think I wouldn’t dare drink tapwater anywhere in the US. Just out of distrust.

I’m the kind of guy the last time I was in India I drank the tap water there from day 1 to the end. Never would I dare in the USA.

I’m deeply saddened by the news i hear of California surfer health issues. That’s more the kind of news one may expect from developing countries these days, not leading nations.

On a surf forum why aren’t we hearing more outrage on respect for the environment dammit? Is the propaganda there so effective or have they drugged you?

Wake up. Fight for your rights. One thing I expect Trump to do is create a whole new sector of activists. A la Louis IIV.

(same drapes BTW! although Louis IIV at least wore suits that fit him and may have had better taste is hairstyle!).

Yes on this, can't understand why either. Don't want to return to the days of the Boston Harbor white fish floating around after a busy Friday and Saturday night. Or adorning my kid's sand castles with tampon applicators as I did 35 years ago as a kid.
Also I think investing in coal is similar to investing in steam engine technology. Oil is never going away, unless it runs out, but investment in renewables seems like the future, unless you own oil interests. Drilling national parks is something I'd only consider if it were a matter of national security.
Maybe Toyota can make the change, show people the shiney NASCAR race cars on tv during the weekend, and sell hydrogen fuel vehicles during the week.

You won't drink the tapwater in the US but you will in India? ....that tells me all I need to know of your argument.

I think the notion of willingly drinking tap water in India but not at all in the U.S. is over the top, but the overall point of Yugi's argument is pretty valid.
