radical environmentalist: Now we’ve gone so far, we’ve
sullied the environment of a moon of Saturn. Will it never end?
Mean: It’s worse than that. Did you know Titan has more
burnable hydrocarbons than the Earth?
environmentalist: Oh my god, when we run out here, the
oil companies will go into space! It’s unimaginable!
Mean: That’s right, unimaginable. You should protest by
burning yourself with gasoline.
environmentalist: But that’s polluting.
Mean: Exactly. Everybody will get the point.
environmentalist: Um, give me a minute. There must be
another reason why it’s a bad idea.
