Reference:- Art loving columnist , Andy Bolt , was sickened at the sight of historic artwork and luxury cars being vandalised by climate activists .

Reference:-   Not everybody feels particularly outraged by the sight of great artwork and luxury cars being vandalised .  But that does not mean they are immune to feelings of outrage per se . 

Dear Andy , 

                           As so often happens , your cutting edge journalism has sparked controversy here at The Sky Reply .  It saddened me to see you become so upset while you watched climate activists deface a great painting by one of those French impresario artist chaps , as I believe they are called .    I mean honestly Andy , what did they expect to achieve ?  At least when we dynamite the world's most unique aboriginal art site into rubble we get a few tons of iron ore and some cash in shareholder's  pockets for the effort . And besides , there are thousands of paintings in museums all over the world , one less isn't going to matter a great deal , so what's the point ?   

We have destroyed uncountable irreplaceable art works in World Wars (just think of what was lost in Dresden alone ) and we still have plenty of antique stuff left ,  so I hardly think a Monet or two is a big deal .   These ridiculous activists won't make a dent in our supply of significant cultural artifacts . 

In fact , I have done some calculations , and if these so called climate activists destroy an artifact  every day it will take them a years just to empty out The Louvre .  The Amazon will be gone , and at the current extinction rate of 70 species per day ( that's the minimum they tell us ) thousands of species will have met their demise long before the last work of art is trashed .  So the activists  have no hope of winning with their childish strategy .  

Even if  (against all the odds ) the human race is among those thousands of species becoming  extinct , there will still be plenty of  paintings and statues and luxury cars around , just nobody to look at them or drive them .

But we will have proved our point  " He who dies with the most toys wins . " , as they say . 

I mentioned this to the lads . 

" He who dies with the most toys wins . " , I said . 

" Wins what ? . " , Gabbo said . 

" That is a stupid question  Gabbo , you idiot .  " , I explained .

Your comrade , Ken
