QuoteA prominent New York lawyer has died after setting himself on fire in Brooklyn's Prospect Park to protest against the use of fossil fuels.

David Buckel, 60, had been well-known for his work on behalf of the LGBT community, as well as with environmental groups.

A suicide note near the lawyer's remains said he had immolated himself using fossil fuel to symbolize the damage humans are doing to the Earth.

Buckel had also reportedly sent the note to multiple news outlets, including The New York Times, warning that people were dying early deaths as a result of breathing in bad air.

He was fired up to protest!

(too soon?)

Ohhhh the irony! Using fossil fuel to kill himself? Let's not miss a more salient point in his proving, liberalism is a mental disorder.

As well as the lack of intellect of their audience.

The Carbon Atom is the essence of oil and gas; the energy
catalyst that made the Industrial Revolution possible,
while producing the world that now largely exists.
While all Revolutions produce good and bad, mankind
is far better off, measured by any material standard.
Further, Carbon is likely the most plentiful element in the
Earth, sourced from rocks, the oceans, plants and the soil.
Yet these unhinged fanatics are at war w/it; as it clashes
w/their neurotic vision of how the world should function.

What is truly fascinating about this is how he actually believed he could make a change. The hypocrisy is real with this one, but let's not forget how 'shock value' protests like the one that this 'man' displayed, does absolutely nothing to advance a political cause.

One would think libs might learn from the failures of others. Take Hogg, for example, had his 20 minutes of fame and now he's yesterdays trash and libs want nothing to do with him. :biggrin:
