Where are all the fat people and immigrants?

We were a different nation then.

Google Ira Einhorn to get an idea what the founder of Earth Day was all about. Years ago his girlfriend decided to leave him so he decided to murder her. He then put her body in a trunk and stored it in his closet. When caught his lawyer,Arlen Specter,got him released on bail.

Then he fled to Europe and stayed there for something like 20 years because France refused to extradite him.

"Filthy piece of excrement" doesn't even begin to describe him.

I was living in a Detroit suburb, working for GM. The event was more like a picnic than anything else. Ralph Nader was there, talking about automobile pollution and, of course, the Corvair.

I recall that era too. Ralph Nader was at the height of his career and political influence then, especially after publishing that book: “Unsafe at Any Speed”, was the title, I think. All the Wise Men of that day figuratively bowed down to him, at least for a little while

They had 365 days to choose from; they chose Lenin’s birthday.

And I would bet more than one beer that Soviet TV portrayed the festivities as “Children of the American running dog lackeys celebrating the birth of Comrade Lenin”.

In the 1967 James Bond movie You Only Live Twice the Tokyo gangsters that kill the contact Bond meets called Henderson are seen wearing similar masks so yeah it goes back quite a bit.

I remember the first Earth Day. Remember it well. They even published a book, “The Environmentalists Handbook,” iirc. Much doomsaying and apocalyptic predictions, none of which have come true fifty years later. Not even close.

That's disappointing...

Even the old hippie chicks were wearing clothes.

No one in that photo is obese. They aren’t even a little bit chubby.

The first Earth Day was on Vladimir Lenin's 100th birthday (not by accident).

April 20 was Hitler's birthday.
April 21 was Rome's birthday (according to tradition).
April 22 is Lenin's birthday.

Who was responsible for the largest number of deaths of innocent people--the Nazis, the Romans, or the Communists?

Today’s attendees have hair a color that doesn’t exist in nature, don’t know which restroom to use, call for killing babies, Jews, White people and non commies, transing your five year olds...
