Underappreciated...

[Lt.Col.Environment]

I try to do everything I can to help the environment and to keep planet earth from turning into a second sun at the hands of global warming.

But people are always telling me that I'm a horrible person that buys slurpees just to dump them on sleeping hobos on my way home from school.

I knew that my job was a thankless one when I got started, but it gets hard sometimes.

Well global warming is serious, and your not being serious. With your whole captain planet persona.

If you take it seriously, I'm sure you could accomplish something.

[Lt.Col.Environment]

I can't help that, back when I was a whelp my daddy would make me stick out my tongue so he could put his cigarettes out on it. Then he would tell me I scream like a girl and force me to do push ups

But people are always telling me that I'm a horrible person that buys slurpees just to dump them on sleeping hobos on my way home from school.

What they don't realize is that by doing that, you are doing this country a great service.

[Lt.Col.Environment]

That's what I said!

But my guidence counseler said that if I kept up that behavior that my only two viable career choices would be the army or the legal system (the part of which that involves sitting in a tiny cement room for twenty years.

I think you aren't taken seriously because of the way you go about it all. If you were to get on and do good for the environment, encouraging others to do the same and dialling down the preachiness of your approach then others are more likely to take you seriously.

A wise man once told me that the only way to get someone hooked on your message these days is to offend them.

People in this generation are so self absorbed in their own little worlds that the only way to burst their bubbles is to be as outrageous and offensive as possible.

Compare Howard Stern to Family Circus, who's gonna get more public attention? Who's gonna be more easily recognizable to the 13-29 demographic?

But is the preachiness really going to get you support? No. Because people don't like to be preached to. Talk to people as if they are equals in a reasonable manner than you are more likely to "penetrate the enemy lines" as it were. That way they can't just dismiss you as the "crazed environmentalist"
