Recycling is Bullshit
The Bear was so fucking proud of the "campaign" she created for her 6th grade class using "Recycle Michael," a tin-man like character made from "recyclables." ...I don't have the heart to tell her that recycling is bullshit.

Please stop trying to expand my mind. Maybe it's just me, but every where I turn people are talking about psychedelics like I'm doing something wrong because I haven't tripped balls with a Peruvian Guru. Shaman, sorry, Peruvian fucking shaman.
