conservation hypocrits
can anyone explain to me why it is wrong to explore for oil in Alaska. Yet
the situation is not dire enough to boycott gas and plan for alternatives.
Yes, like buying super ultra-low emission vehicles like the Honda Insight,
but how about carpooling.
It's obviously more socially acceptable to be conservative (or liberal i
guess, here they appear to are synonymous); but it seems that this
conservatism stops when it means sacrificing/altering our lifestyle. Ahhh,
Democratic sentiment at it's fullest; or should i say empty. Where's the
logic. How easy is it to fight for something at a distance (say a wildlife
refuge some 4,000 miles away); God forbid doing something to help rather than
getting on Politically Incorrect or the Fox News Channel to win some votes.
i hear Bush ripped for not intervening and saying something about the gas
prices. I SAY CARPOOL PEOPLE. is this some new innovation. Hey, when you
drive to work look around at how many people are driving alone, these are the
same people that are complaining about the gas prices. Driving a car is a
luxury, not a right. i have a theory that we need to revert to the old
system, that is living in the neighborhood in which you work. See, since the
inception of the Suburb, that's what people did, right? Now, and since the
50's (When was Levittown built?), people have been moving further and further
from the cities and their jobs. Now, and in the gas crisis in the 70's,
people are beginning to wake up. Only the vision is not that WE should do
something to change US, rather the government should intervene for us and
bully the oil companies/OPEC.
Am l on to something here? Does anyone agree. i'm not gonna proofread this
to ensure that i made any sense. Cuz l know that if my logic is skewed, I'll
most definitely hear about it.
Sorry for the ranting,
Mike
