Is Carbon Doomed?

Traveling the back roads of Texas last week found me driving through a town called “Carbon.” I’d never heard of this particular little hamlet and thought the name a bit unusual. According to s quick web search, the town derives its name from the mineral deposits in the area. While navigating the miles of highway I began to ponder the fate of this town’s name.

Considering the all out assault by the radical green terrorists against the life building element of carbon, is it possible this town will be forced to change its name or face some kind of state enforced sanctions? Being familiar with the past and present behavior of these life-hating monkey-wrenchers, such a scenario doesn’t seem that far out.

The town is small and therefore lacks any political muscle to resist such tyranny. It also has been losing population over the years. I can see mobilized school children, motivated by false images of melting ice caps and starving polar bears, petitioning their elders to PLEASE change the name of their beloved town. It’s the right thing to do. It’s a necessary change- a change we can believe in.

How does “Gaia Estates” sound?
