I suppose this has nothing to do with global warming but;
I'm an environmentalist, I've lived in the woods, I love the woods, and I hate the way they're disappearing. I'm also a member of a lot of groups trying to save the woods. And no I'm not an anti-gun or anti hunting Greenpeace type. I like to hunt, and I even support the seal harvest in Newfoundland.
What get's me though is how Bob Geldof keeps getting described in the press as a "rock star".
I mean, fuck, he was a one hit wonder at best, who's one hit was based on a totally commercial exploitation of a deranged 14 year old girl who shot up a schoolyard.
And now he's a frigging knight? Sir Bob? Gimme a break!
Some famous dude who's name I don't remember once said something like
"First they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they heap honours on your head, then you don't matter anymore."
