You're better off having just drooled on your keyboard. I made the mistake of clicking on the link. After several pop ups were killed, I finally started scrolling down to read. I got distracted by ads asking me to sign a petition for something to do with Christianity and one to take a stand with the whackjob Ted Nugent. I never made it through the article.

I still have to read the article but a quick answer to you question of why is earth day on April 22nd.

I have to guess because April 1st (April Fools) was already taken.

What the heck is "Earth Day"?

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

And I thought that it was two days after 4/20...

So what Marilyn Chambers and Betty Page were also born on April 22nd...

Dates in history: I just found out this year that I got married on the anniversary of the Sinking of the Titanic. My dad told my wife that before we got married (good thing he didn't tell me . . .)

I always have the kids flush the toilet a couple of times on Earth Day and tell them we are helping the rivers and lakes to stay full...

Care to address the facts in the article?

In honor of Earth Day, I will be stoking up a fire pit in the afternoon and burning it through the night. I will be smoking more than my "fair share" of cigars, and I might even roast some out over the flame in honor of lenin and all the others of his ilk.

What facts? I saw lots of assertions and yellow journalism. I trust anything from WND as much as I trust anything from Michael Moore.

Do you guys also dump used motor oil on the ground, and say you're just returning it to the earth from whence it came?

LOL.

The declaration of all forests, streams, and minerals as property of the state.
Human free "nature preserves".

Do you recognize the parallels between communism and the "green movement"?
