If he were using more energy, the pollution would not be happening in his front yard. Is Gore's palace lost in a fog of coal smoke? No. <BR/><BR/>The "squaring of principles" bit is equally infantile: If your principles are to let people choose for themselves whether to be "green" or not, how the fuck are you a hypocrite if you then choose for yourself whether to be "green" or not? Morons... But their problem there is that they don't really grasp the idea of freedom: In their moral universe, virtually everything not prohibited is compulsory. Aside from gay marriage, they can't comprehend the idea of letting people do things you don't want to do yourself. <BR/><BR/>Christ, the stupidity of these people is absolutely beyond belief. They're trying to smear somebody's environmentalism on the basis of his having an energy-efficient house. And did you hear Gore's excuse for wasting all that energy? He says he's using it all to alert people to the danger of global warming! Yeah, right: The only way to do that is to air-condition 20,000 square feet to 70F in Nashville in August, especially when you're out of state travelling in your private jet. That's as stupid as the reasoning above, and they're swallowing it without a whimper. <BR/><BR/>It's not that they're wrong, or that they're dishonest; I'm used to that. It's that they're not even <EM>attempting</EM> to make up any lies that could even fool a child. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I seem to recall that the arsenic thing was a canard, but it's been a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
