Aye, I did, but I guess what I mean by it is, there are those people who sit around and talk about how crappy the world is and do nothing to change it... I never said you didn't, in fact you do just the opposite...
What always gets me down about environmentalists, animal rights activists, and etc, etc. is that it seems not for one moment do they think about how 80% of the world is in poverty, or hmmm lets see, if the cure for most diseases in the world was just clean water, it wouldn't be possible... even for many, many generations from now... That close to 3 billion people in the world are held under draconian rule by their government and have restrictions placed upon every aspect of their lives... But we live in America... We don't have to worry about that... All we worry about is some owl or grubworm that might go extinct because of man's trepidations... In our country, animals have more rights than most women in the Middle East... Now, how does any of this strike you? It plainly pisses me off...
And I must say I actually DO take care of the environment everyway I can... I recycle, I have an extremely fuel efficient car, I conserve water and electricity... In other words, I do my small part... When we make companies in our country start respecting the rights of our land (the World) and our people (the world's people, not just Americans) then progress can be made... Once WE MAKE THEM take it beyond our borders and in our vehicles, then possibly we might have some solutions...
