No, I want you to explain why you think your feeling that the people of New Orleans are somehow uniquely downtrodden has anything to do with the topic of this threat or even this forum as a whole. And as an aside, do you have any direct experience of the area that was hit by Katrina to base your reaction on? |

national hypocrisy
--Electric cars - - - add a million to the world fleet, and then tell
me how your gonna recharge them. Either look at the bigger picture, or go back to jousting with your SUV Windmill.-- As a matter of fact, windmills are a good solution --in some cases. And in some other cases is the bike, and then public transportation and so on. So the solution is MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION combined with MULTIMODAL ENERGY, meaning options like the Ethanol or Hydrogen fuels... What we need though is the POLITICAL WILL --or THE REVOLUTION-- to make it happen. "Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the next century, but -- regardless of whether it is or isn't -- we won't do much about it. We will (I am sure) argue ferociously over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Little will be done. . . . Global warming promises to become a gushing source of national hypocrisy.'' http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...070400789.html |

to start THE REVOLUTION
--show me a car that a poor person can afford today that is fuel
efficient and clean-- The bike, public transportation, car pooling, car sharing... they all are available cheap options to the public. However because they are just plain dangerous (the bike) or never spoken about, they are out of mind for most folks. A good campaign may start by putting bin Laden on the passenger seat... "The terrorists who attacked America weren't being funded primarily by drug money. They were being funded primarily by oil money. In other words, it isn't the drug addicts who should feel guilty. It's the gasoline addicts." (some info here for those who want to start THE REVOLUTION) So you say you want a revolution? Well, we all want to change the world. So what? Quit bitching and moaning, quit bellyaching, and get off your duff. There is no way to change the world by sitting on your ass in an air conditioned room, even if you listen to nothing but early Dylan and read nothing but Hunter Thompson. You can't change the world unless you change yourself first. As Gandhi used to say, "Be the change you want to see in the world". http://www.faulkingtruth.com/Article...ning/1054.html MORE OPTIONS HERE... http://www.mycommute.org/site/options |
