A short list of questions for Darryl Hannah:
- How did you get from your home in California to Washington? (note: citing carbon credits is an absolutely invalid answer)
- Though your home runs on solar power, have you yet donated 99% of your wealth to less wealthy individuals who can’t afford to similarly customize their homes?
- How does the bio-diesel you use for your car get transported to you?
- How do you sleep at night knowing that bio-diesel fuel pollutes Mother Gaia?
- How do the products you buy get transported to the stores you shop in?
- What sources of power do the servers use that host your weekly podcast?
- How do you get to the movies you work on?
- Have you yet refused to accept one cent from movies you’re in that play in theatres powered by anything other than solar or wind?
- What motivates you to destroy the livelihoods of Canadians, almost all of whom make a lot less money than you?
- Is your disgusting hypocrisy innate or a learned behaviour?

Just Another “Isolated” Incident
15 people were arrested at a New York amusement park after Muslim women in hijabs were denied entrance onto rides because of safety reasons related to their headgear. Here is an explanation of what initiated the violence:
Earlier, a park cashier told a Journal News reporter that a woman wearing a hijab either pushed or hit a ride operator who forbade her from going on the ride. She said a police officer tried to restrain the woman and the woman’s husband took offense, at which point a multiple-person fight broke out.
We Can Start With The Rich Liberals
Daniel S. Hamermesh needs help with the word “radical”.
A more radical solution may be needed: why not offer legal protections to the ugly, as we do with racial, ethnic and religious minorities, women and handicapped individuals?
No, that would be the conventional solution.
Look, if the left wants to talk “radical” solutions the template exists, courtesy of their ideological forebears. So, why not just say it? All of these troublesome inequalities would evaporate if a “final” solution were implemented for the attractive able white male problem.
