What A Crock Of Gorilla Dung

Well, here's proof positive that liberals are nuts, especially the global warming crowd.  It is now theorized (there's really no solid research on this, but hey, facts are not important ... it's the intent that counts) that gorillas are "the gardeners of the rainforest."  It seems that these cuddly fur balls eat leaves and plants and when mother nature takes her course, seeds pop out of the gorilla's other end, thus encouraging the growth of new plants.

A British "economist" believes that spending $15 billion a year on reforestation programs is the best way to cut greenhouse gas emissions.  It seems the author of this article is suggesting that by encouraging the propagation of gorillas, some of that money could be saved.  Who would ever have though that gorilla dung was a valuable commodity?  In fact, the expert journalist who wrote the story claims that gorilla dung could be the salvation of the planet!

Just a couple of points here:

1. Global warming is a just another way of politicians saying "we thought of a great new way to pick your pockets and reduce your freedoms!"  Have you looked at a weather map lately?  Mighty frosty out there.
2. I spent a year in a "rain forest" and let me tell you, it was a real jungle!
3. That $15 billion for reforestation?  My guess is that since the amount quoted is in dollars, not pounds or Euros, the assumption is that we'll just get that money from the good ole' USA.
4. Since the gorillas are passing huge amounts of sharp seeds, do you suppose that the UN should mount a mission to distribute Preparation H to them? They can probably implement this program for well under $10 billion.
5. I want to save the planet so much that I am considering buying some pet gorillas and letting them roam my backyard.  The neighbors will love that!
6. The wholesale slaughter of the world's gorillas is a real tragedy and stopping it is undoubtedly good for the environment.  But for God's sake, can we stop the histrionics? Saving the planet with gorilla dung?  Give me a break.

This monumental news story is a wake up call as well as a call to action. Until we are able to implement this sweet smelling plan and save the gorillas, you should stop driving your car and stop breathing.  We all need to reduce our carbon footprint.
