I sincerely appreciate LEGO's recognition that any brick material must stand up over decades -- they do get handed from generation to generation. Good for them for investing in everyone's future.

"The notion that a lawn might be forced to turn brown can genuinely frightening, as it implies the little people, by which we mean the government, can reach their grubby little peasant-claws even onto the streets of San Marino, or La Jolla, or Rancho Santa Fe.

In 2015, fossil fuels will receive $10 million every minute in taxpayer subsidies. If that doesn't piss you off, I don't know what will. http://bit.ly/1Fs2i0x
