Def: Ultraconservative; reactionary:- disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions etc and to limit change.


Lester huffed as he brushed dust from his jacket, an expression of distaste on his face before he glanced around at the little that remained of New Dawn. “Well, that just goes to prove the Climate Change mob are wrong.”

Matt drew back from Becker, turning towards Lester with a frown. “James?”

“Burton tried to produce pollution-free energy and it backfired on him. Instead of saving the world he almost destroyed it.” Lester shook his head. “At least you know where you stand with good old fashioned coal.”

“And it is destroying the world slowly.”

“Maybe, but we have time.”

And time is of the essence.

Great one.

Oh, Lester. *shakes head at him*

I liked this.

It is, but they have time to plan now. Hopefully ;)

Thanks for reading.

Good to know it worked and thanks for reading.

Best not to rush into crazy plans, eh?

Lester does love looking for that silver lining! *G*

Lester loves to be difficult ;) He could go home, but Connor's there with him.

Thanks for reading.

*nods* It didn't work that well for Burton.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading.

Nothing like looking on the bright side!

Thats Lester for you.

Thanks for reading.

It makes sense that Lester would have that point of view. But death by coal would probably be preferable to death by a super anomaly. Nice.

Hmm... I'm not sure Lester has thought this through.

Maybe, but I think he'd prefer coal to the future predators.

Thanks for reading.

Very nice use of the prompt. James can be forgiven his fondness for fossil fuels in the circumstances!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-09-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it. Lester says you can say what you want against fossil fuels but at least they don't release future predators.

Thanks for reading.

Lester might have a point here!

*nods* Coal has got to be better than a world full of hungry Daves.

Thanks for reading and looking at it for me.

OM, always so practical, Lester ^_^

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-10-20 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester agrees he is.

Thanks for reading.

Interesting use of the prompt!

I was stuck, this was the only possible useful definition ;)

Thanks for reading.
