Edit:Before taking offense to the dirty hippy,or pot growing stoner comments, take note that I am one myself so I am allowed to say it.
For one, I can't say that it is a total waste of money, because they do need to think about and train for things like this. I am also pretty sure that the whole day was full of wise cracks and smart ass remarks about beating dirty hippies and such. Sure, a bunch of pot growing stoners are probably lowest on the list of people actually go out and do some thing like this, but that is more than likely why they chose to say that. They knew that someone would be upset by it, and why not go with the group of people that would rather sit down and talk about it than go out and blow something up. It's a simple case of covering their asses.
Yes, I agree--
Let's all go dump our dirty Bubble Hash water in the Lake!! [/Sarcasm] lol
