Your point here being that only the perfect may speak? Or perhaps that if
one cannot do everything one should do nothing? Or maybe you're saying that
if you do some damage you may as well do a lot?

Maybe you just feel defensive because you ripped all of that enviro crap
out of -your- Vanagon.

Oh, and if I find somebody taking a dump in my back yard I don't really have
to ask myself anything before I ask them to knock it off.
