..........And eat it too. Ever notice how we always hear the environmentalists rip their clothes and gnash their teeth about fossil fuels and our copious consumption of such carbon based fuels and how it damages the environment. Alternative fuels! that's the answer wind and water and solar power that's the answer!
So lets build a wind generator off the coast of Mass........No wait, cant do that at least not off Hayannisport, might block the view of the Kennedy's place. Not to mention we don't want James Taylor's view obstructed or ruined by the Eco-friendly wind generators....
Ever notice that the biggest screamers are also giving us the "do as I say don't do as I do " treatment?
Al Gores house is an environmental nightmare. not to mention John Edwards crib as well. Al Likes private jets, John, oft spokesman for the poor and downtrodden has alienated all his surrounding neighbors, most of whom are poor and or on a fixed income.
Critical celebs are apt to have several large houses and ride their jets....They aren't flying Economy...Nor are they shopping at Wal-mart.
Here in Maine, where I live there is a movement to "restore" the rivers, meaning lets blow up some dams,Dams that have been in place for a hundred years or so, and some that have been or are capable of generating power, also in Western Maine there was a plan to build a wind powered generator, but came under heavy fire for being an eyesore and the environmental damage it was going to cause......What?. Also there is a movement that comes and goes up here to create a Northern Forest National Park, so it will remain a pristine wilderness that only the rich can live in......I will go into detail on that some other time. Its amazing to me how many of our so Called leaders and socially responsible celebs want to have their cake, and eat it too.

I get all riled up when it comes to environmentalism (should have changed my major or gone to UVM). The biggest hypocrites are the ones who whine about it. Sure they could be doing some good, but they’re too lazy to set the example. Why should they have to suffer? They were either born into money or they got most of it from promoting sex, drugs, alcohol or a combination of all three! And those are just the people you see on everyday television! The ones we see in the National Enquirer are worse! I guess the average Joes should have thought about that before we were born into “poverty”
And another thing, I have seen those windmills in person and you know what? When painted white, you do not realize they are there until you’re standing about 500 yards away. Even on a clear day. And as for being eyesores...what do you call the Empire State Building? The Prudential Center? And dare I say it, oh why not, The New York World Trade Center towers prior to 2001? I think a sleek, modern windmill in the middle of the flippin' ocean or woods is a much better "waste of space."
>shakes head< That's the problem with New England, we're too hung up on property rights and money to see the fact that doing something new could benefit us all in the long run.
Dare to be honest with yourselves!
Don't even get me started about tree huggers who know nothing about Lumber harvesting. Forests are like vegetable gardens. In a veggie garden there are some veggies that have to be thinned, like carrots. You don't harvest them all in one day, you take a few each day. Other plants are taken all at once like harvesting wheat. You can't take one wheat plant at a time. Timber is the same way. Some species have to be clear cut like birch. If a you don't take them all, those few left will not survive and be healthy in the forest. Others like Maple can be harvested a little at a time. And while talking about clearcutting...what do the skiing tree huggers think a sky trail is? It's a clear cut folks!!! The mountain didn't naturally have a slope with no tries or rocks on it....
*gets off her soap box* Have a nice day :)
