  Simple Country Physicist — Authority: 126
  Remembering the bumper sticker “Kill A Commie For Christ” popular when I was an undergraduate, this one strikes similarly. Especially if you consider how much harm is done by taking such a large number of trees for this egotistical, emo prupose. One more ill of humans to blame on kings.
