Why are people so fucking offended by Scot's Broom, which is a pretty little bush with beautiful yellow flowers, and little black beans that pop in the sunlight, just because Scot's Broom is "an invasive non-native species"? I would love to know why these people have to hack down relatively defenseless pretty flowers. Why can't they pick on somebody their own fucking size. Like Burger King, which, as if you need reminding, is INVASIVE and NON-NATIVE.

I'm in favor of torching Burger Kings instead of Scot's Broom. I think that would make the world a much better place. Scot's Broom is at least pretty, and probably kills fewer vertebrate beings per year than Burger King.

Why are people so fucking misguided?
