For those of you who don't know what NIMBYism is, it's having that 'Not In My Back Yard" attitude. It means that shit that you normally wouldn't care about, or might even encourage, suddenly becomes a big fucking deal when it's close to you. You're like that, and I hate you for it. You might be bitching about the main drag in your town being widened because you live near it, or complaining that the new shopping centre you signed a petition for last year is too close to your child's school. Or, and this is the biggest one, you're probably bitching about economy-stimulating, environment-saving green energy constructions going in too close to your house.
What is your problem, anyway? Not only will windmills and solar panels help the economy, lower our carbon footprint, and save everyone a lot of money in the long run, they also look cool as hell. The only way they could look cooler would be when fusion energy becomes a feasible global option, and then they'll look even sweeter when they succumb to urban decay (broken shit is badass).
In conclusion, I hope someone builds a windmill in your backyard, and you're one of the possible 0.0000000001% of the population or whatever that actually has an adverse effect from it, and your head explodes or something.
I'd say I was sorry to disappoint, as this kind of crap doesn't raise my ire the way you do when you're on the road, but I figured I'd try to make myself look like I have opinions about stuff other than driving. Not that I care what you think.
I hate you,
- The Angriest Man
