good question eh... what makes people think using these patroleum products is even remotely moral when they apparently lead to war and certain(though scale is unknown) environmental damage? people with money often seem to confuse their revenue source for repetitiousness. goes back to the old religious idea that rich people are the 'chosen ones' and that their comparative wealth is a 'sign'. i reject this idea.
my argument for al gore has been and continues to be 'if people dont take these dramatic stances, then the power of money will squash our chances to stop breathing so much poison at the massive-profit of everyone but us' (and apparently a few oil-loving curmudgeons with lots of money invested in our current and apparenly unsustainable oil consumption). apparently it is a fine idea to think that if i burn leaves i will get in trouble because there are alternative methods to get rid of leaves that are not dangerous and polluting, but comed owners are the god-granted chosen ones who can pollute all they want, then lie and cheat their customers, and still get their massive corporate bonuses and de-facto monopoly status.
i am done with this topic again, unless it involves tea parties and polar bears.. i also want some aurora borealis on the horizon.
