Earth Justice

Earth Justice is a bunch of tree hugging lawyers fighting to save the environment and us. I discovered them on the backside of a magazine ad for American Spirit cigarettes touting "100% Additive-Free Natural Tobacco." That made me laugh because the company's logo shows an NA in a war bonnet smoking a peace pipe. It reminded me of Nokosee's New Seminole plan that included selling tax-free cigarettes on the res to the Outside with the expectation they would sooner or later die from cancer and then the NS could go about their mission of reclaiming the Everglades for its original caretakers, the Seminole and Miccosukee. I told him the plan needed a little  tweaking.  He agreed.  Didn't know the "tweaking" would put us on the FBI's Most Wanted list.  Wish the New Seminole had gone the Earth Justice way instead of the Busimanolotome Osceola way.

If we had, I  wouldn't be hiding out with Nokosee and our baby Haalie at the Miccosukee Embassy flipping through old magazines and waiting for the Feds to come swarming in with guns drawn to take us down (in my mind, I see them rappelling from the embassy's roof and crashing through the building's soaring glass wall, you know, like that fool-with-a-death-wish did in the Bourne Identity). If you want to save the world, do it through these guys because, as their credo says, "the earth needs a good lawyer."  Oh, yeah, don't smoke. It ain't cool. It's a stupid thing to do what with what we know about the dangers of smoking and all and it makes you look like a dumb ass. Unless, of course, you're an Outsider-with-a-death-wish. Then, please, go right ahead and do the NS a favor.
