So, let me get this straight. You, Sam Barr, happily get behind the destruction of the planet (right here in our own backyard) because you are SO important, you can’t bear the inconvenience of having dropped cell phone calls whilst driving.

That is so wrong on different levels. Firstly, a recent NTSA study shows that distracted driving (Yep, that’s talking on the phone while driving) is more fatal than impaired driving. Now, we’ve all known the consequences of driving drunk for years and here we find something more dangerous; talking on the phone while driving. Thanks Sam, now we know who you are. A man so filled with his own self-importance that he would destroy flora and fauna at will for cell tower taller than a football field all the while endangering the lives of other people with his uninterrupted talk talk talk.

You’re an old man, Sam and you’re the lucky one because in the 20 years down the road when the eagles are gone, the native flowers don’t come up in the spring and the butterflies cease to exist, you’ll be dead; but, the rest of the world will have to live with the results of your inability to overcome your bourgeois hardship.

Should I submit?
