Enviro-nazis are the ones destroying the planet and creating a holocaust for 200 species a day.

Only the right ones, huh? Everyone else on the planet exists on manna from Heaven?

Nully don't eat cows, he don't drink drinks, he never touches rubber soled shoes, and he never, ever farts prosperously?

Just how are you any different from those on the right you lament? You do everything everybody else does (and more too?).

Delusional. It's a word I'd consider looking up if I were you, Nully. Because that's how you sound to an objective outsider like myself.

Nully ain't kilt no endangered species. No siree. Only rich corporations do that in their quest to put gas in his fleet of cars (that he, ahem, really, really hates using).

There is no hypocrisy. By this logic, I would have to kill myself, or at least live naked in a cave, before criticizing industrial civilization. That's absurd, and an ad hominem fallacy. Anybody who takes that argument seriously needs a class in Logic 101.

True. Just as anyone who fails to admit they themselves are part of the collective problem, needs a class in Honesty 101.

Be honest first, then make your point. Say you're guilty too; and other guilty people might begin to listen more.

Just know it's the pious, self-excluding dogma that fills our ears. And never shall your point get through.

I'm well aware that I'm part of the global 5 percent that uses 20 to 30 percent of the most important global resources. I advocate a managed contraction of that global footprint. Let's start with a 5 dollar a gallon gas tax. I'm willing to pay it tomorrow. You?

In all fairness, my answer won't mean much. I'm retired and don't have to drive to work tomorrow. Nor do I have to expect a job when I get there.

You'd actually favor a world-wide depression? I'm sorry, but that is just madness. And I'm not sure I believe you even mean that.

It would hurt a whole lot of good people, you know? And what would "they" do will all of that gas tax money? Do you know? Do you care?

One more question. Is this why you voted for Obama? Because you knew he'd contract the economy?

It's the reason why I voted for Obama. I will admit it. I knew Obama would tank the economy.

Because Obama's economic footprint contraction will save the world from global warming.

[Or not]. hee hee..

No, I don't think so, Rex. You ducked the question I asked, so you don't deserve another question.

Who does the $5 a gallon gas tax go to? If it goes to me, I will gladly support it.

If to Al Gore? No, I don't support a $5 gallon gas tax. You do?

Obama's economy is great for combating global warming. Be glad for it!

Nully, Nully, Nully. Obama is the best thing that could have happened in combating global warming.

His economic policies have contracted everything, just like you recommend happens.

And you failed to support him? Now I'm confused.

We now have a contracting carbon footprint. You should be celebrating that fact. What gives?

See? Never a need for name calling. Just well-layed argument traps that arguers can't help but step into.

To combat the climate boogey-man, the carbon footprint must necessarily shrink.

And that can only mean 1 thing. A New Great Depression of the global economy.

And Obama's just the man to bring it about. And save us all in the process.

[or not]. hee hee

That's why I voted for Obama too---I knew he would be good for my investments---precious metals will continue to do well in the future; the economy not so well.

I'm actually not that calculating by half. I was mostly using my literary license back there.. lol..

Losing the last election doesn't mean you have to accept the public's opinion on anything. Every thug knows the public doesn't matter at all, they can be homeless or cannon fodder for all they care.

Don't overly complicate this. Republicans take one listen to an Obama Phone Lady person and think, can this person really be right? Really?

Once that nano-second is finished, Republicans then assume that most Obama voters come to their beliefs in the the same way as the Obama Phone Lady did.
