Our emotional earth

There's environmentalist wackos and then there's environmentalist wackos:

'A bad case of fleas'

The act of war deliberately and thoughtlessly wounds, poisons and handicaps the life-sustaining womb of all mankind. The Earth reacts, as any living thing would, when attacked. Earthquake, tsunami, flood, tornado, hurricane, mudslide, and resulting loss of life may be the natural emotional response.

We must behave responsibly and live peacefully or we may all be "shaken" off like a bad case of fleas.

"The natural emotional response," eh? Oooooo-kay. So, um, not to be indelicate, but, uh, what happens when the Earth gets turned on? On second thought, maybe I don't want to know that...
