Protesters stormed the 18th green at The Travelers yesterday, dropped some sort of colored substance and discolored a portion of the surface. People yelled and screamed at these folks, applauded law enforcement who came and rounded them up.
There were five or six of them, some wearing t-shirts that said “No golf on a dead planet…” or something like that. I get the intent, and you have to figure that, as much as people were annoyed and were happy they got carted off, the message on the t-shirt—black lettering on white material—might be seared into at least a few brains. Mine included.
It’s difficult for me to be too mad at these people. Think about it. It’s not like pretty much every man, woman, and child isn’t aware that something is off with the planet. It’s not like scientists are just now ringing the alarm bell over global warming. The message obviously hasn’t landed using conventional means of communication.
So, what’s left to try that doesn’t involve in your face?
