As liberal as I may be in some areas, I have rather libertarian leanings when it comes to personal freedoms - including SUVs, pot, gay marriage and owning firearms to protect oneself. And to be honest, with regard to saving the planet, my long-standing view has been this:<BR/><BR/>The planet is going nowhere. At some point, if we're not careful, the planet will expel its parasites with natural disasters, severe climate changes or the like. Some creatures will survive and be the start of the next round. The only questions are "when" and "what can we do to not let it happen in our lifetimes".<BR/><BR/>We all pollute to some degree. We each do our parts to drain some infinitesimal amount of our environmental resources. I'd be willing to bet, however, that the emissions from a bong are less hazardous to the environment than, say, a hummer. (And I mean the vehicle - the other kind does nothing but good for the environment.) However, I'm no scientist - just a guy who doesn't really fit well into a political "party category".ghartsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181957461644446687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12654452.post-15677466039933271512008-06-05T13:54:00.000-04:002008-06-05T13:54:00.000-04:00How does your argument hold up in regards to any o...How does your argument hold up in regards to any other activities? Porn? Pot? Eating steak and shrimp? (which many greens are telling us is just as damaging to the environment as driving SUVs) My point is that we can't allow a group of alarmists whose arguments are based on bad science to go around dictating to everyone how we should live. There really is not any indisputable evidence that our "carbon emissions" are causing harm or that they will. I've been following this issue closely for a long time and facts are facts. Al Gore, et al, are only feeding people a bunch of garbage and lies meant to scare and control them. As a liberal you should be more worried about that than about who's driving what and so on. Don't you agree?Rae Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239791074376508016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12654452.post-60467598879438210742008-06-05T11:29:00.000-04:002008-06-05T11:29:00.000-04:00And not all of us left wing psychos are vegetarian...And not all of us left wing psychos are vegetarians. I had some damn good steak and shrimp last night and maybe even paid a little too much for it - another right as an American consumer. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I find it hard to ignore the notion that we make the planet better or worse for ourselves and future generations based on how we treat it...regardless of our right to do something. <BR/><BR/>I mean, if I'm too drunk to get off the couch, which I'm within my rights to become, I also have a right to piss on my living room floor. Hell, I have a right to do it every night if I want. Though it's probably not the healthiest thing for me or my home environment, it's certainly my right.<BR/><BR/>Just sayin.....just because we CAN do something, doesn't mean we all should.ghartsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181957461644446687noreply@blogger.com
