Than we must be socialists! We're the second worst polluter in the world.
Two things that cause pollution: industry and human consumption. Developing nations use 1 watt a day per person, we use megawatts a day. We use 25% of the world's energy, who do you think creates more pollution us or a country with little or no electric from coal plants?
I'm not a socialists, I don't believe in a fully socialistic system BUT I do believe in socialistic programs within a democracy. As I said, it's not a black or white issue.... except to those individuals who don't understand how systems work. Those individuals are very afraid of what they don't understand or are ill informed about.
Those of use with fewer children pay more tax than those of us with more children, this is a form of socialism. We are paying people to have more children in an over populated world. Does that make this a socialistic country?
Read some history. Political ideologies fail because of man's corruption, the way this republic is now failing. The ideology of the republic orchestrated by great men like Jefferson and Franklin is being compromised by human greed... we all suffer when that happens.
Again, Franklin's poignant words: "It's a republic, madam, if you can keep it!"
I think you have a very narrow perspective of the world, parroting a right wing philosophy is as myopic as parroting a left wing philosophy. Go read different views like Howard Zinn's, "A People's History of the United States" find out why the Roman Empire failed, go read Gibbon.
Here's the question I ask all those people who narrowly focus on ranting radio hosts: What have you gained from listening to them?
I'm the one with free energy who knows about renewables and technology, not you. I'm the one polluting less and in a much better position if the power grid fails. So maybe if you started thinking about what is actually going on in the world instead of listening to people who want to give you someone to blame, which doesn't you absolutely no good, you might actually have a better life. But people always want to blame those who think differently than they do because that means the onus of their inability to cope with a changing world doesn't fall on them.
You want to blame Al Gore, tell me exactly what good that does you?
That's rhetorical, it does no good whatsoever!
Am I smarter than you? If intelligence is the ability to constructively resolve one's problems than who is smarter, you pay for electricity and I maximize the benefits of the system we both live in. You blame Al Gore and I don't concern myself with him. If tomorrow the power grid fails you get to stick a wet thumb in your ear while I go about life as usual. You know nothing about the technology that makes life better while I utilize it to its maximum. So you tell me who's smarter.

Not name calling - although that is your practice, you start it then whine when it comes back to haunt you,
You are Phony & Liar. If you were as great as you think you are, you would not be wasting your time here.
Now mister Know It All, Is global warming worse than global cooling. Come on answer the question. Just like you Demand of everyone else.
You do more assuming than most anyone I ever met.
Your ASSUMPTIONS
I listen to talk radio - WRONG
I listen to Glen Beck - WRONG
I'm not educated - WRONG
I tell you I moved houses - you call them mobile homes - WRONG - and have yet to take back your DA statements. Or address how much greener that is than your wind mill.
My family and I have been using used lumber since long before you were born. But your solar panels are saving so much more than we ever will.
I drive a 1997 truck that now has just over 90,000 miles. You have a great little gas saver with almost twice as many miles, but you are taking care of the planet saving our using less fuel than I do. Hold on just a second, It's 1/2 the age of my truck. Bet it took a lot of energy to build that Fine Skateboard. Lets look at Ton Miles. You have yourself a nice little trailer if needed. That little baby will tow up to 2,700 LBS. You either drive real slow creating a hazard or that thing is eating up that Subbie. OOPPPSS Now I'm Assuming. I will still be driving my truck when your Subbie is being crushed up as scrap metal, if you drive as much as you say.
Can you haul a tractor with backhoe and other items. I not only haul my equipment to places where its needed, I also picked up a tractor for a friend with a round trip of almost 500 miles.
Another Answer - Why are you using mercury filled bulbs made in China with all the Hot Air you have.
A good place for you would be France, they need some real Smart people and have just elected a Socialist president. With luck we will get rid of our Socialist president.
As I have said before. If anyone does not recycle or do green things outside of your very narrow view, they just aren't doing it right.
