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
