I don't think you'll find hostility towards stewardship of our globe in Coulter's writing.

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01...

That sounds kind of like lack of responsibility to me.

Admittedly, Sean Hannity is not as ridiculous Coulter, because she is possibly the craziest person to ever appear on television, but they're both just plain mean people. They care little about the rest of the country, and less about the rest of the earth. You can talk all you want about 'the left' (by the way, I don't just listen to them, I AM on the left), but acting out of compassion is not weak. In fact, it's a little more difficult and complicated than using a 'fuck it, blow it up' mentality.

I don't know who said it, but I fully agree with the sentiment that anyone can use violence. Physical bravery is a lot easier than moral bravery.
