  Is it REALLY that offensive?

  I fail to see why so many are up in arms over a few shirts, buttons and stickers. The Young Dems aren't on campus throwing fliers and paper all over, littering and causing extreme amounts of waste like other campus movements. In fact, only a select few have the shirts at this point, and they aren't even making any profit off of them.

  And to point out the irony in your Exxon Mobile comment, (which I'm hoping is a joke), the only reason Exxon is even pathetically trying to make 'sustainable' energy is because of the vary, 'glee,' 'fad,' and 'follower' culture you are all speaking of. Do you really think an oil mogul like the Exxon Mobile Corporation actually cares enough about the environment to suddenly jump into action? Hardly. Movements, that started out just as small as this one have caused a revolution in the way that we think about our daily lives and how we impact the world around us.

  In the long run, I'm sure that 20 shirts, a few stickers and buttons won't really impact the environment as much as 5000 non-recyclable cups a DAY.

  So instead of sitting on your ass, logging onto the internet and criticizing a bunch of concerned college kids, maybe you should get out there and do something too.
