Now, if people were to think proactively, they might see that our energy wastage is based on a number of false assumptions; that our energy use can be cut in half and still maintain a high standard of living. They might also see that changing policy to achieve that goal would require cutting across the bow of a number of powers-that-be, including the military, which would lose its relevance if it was not mucking about in the mideast protecting "our" oil.

Change is scary, and messing up the plans of the rich and powerful is even scarier.

Exactly... and that's why you all hate the rich.

Even though they're only 1% and shouldn't be counted lol....

If the other 99% were doing as bad as you were, then everyone would LOVE MOTHER NATURE, right?

Maybe you're just worse off than most of the 99% since you're the 1 in 1,000,000 bitching, right????

You're surely in the minority of people who give two shits to change anything.......
