A few years ago I went to visit a friend up in Seattle and we drove over to the Olympic National Park coastline to do some backpacking. On the way we stopped in Olympia. I didn't know what it was at the time, but while we were there, I got this huge feeling of dread...like something bad was about to happen. I just wanted out of there.

NOW I know what that feeling was about...

It's freakin' retarded around here....Someone moves to the f*ckin' boonies out here cause housing costs are through the roof, sees one or two black bears (in their natural habitat no less....but it's still "my backyard..." :think: ) and calls the news agencies and says that the wildlife is encroaching on their property and it's spreading panic....

Whatever....f*ck pansy suburbites....

Not quite the same, but this phrase applies to the political activists and the generally uniformed...

We call them NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard)
NIMBY - A person who vehemently opposes any form of progress / natural event which will occur in or around their neighborhood..

Just a random non-sequitor..
