Common sense vs. extremism

Nothing wrong with common sense aproaches to cutting polution. That should be something we all do just for common senses sake, as you mentioned, because this is the only planet we have. I dont throw trash in my yard or dump oil on the ground for the same reason. Thats common sense.

Govt. is killing small business with their extremism however. Politicians are buying this hype hook line and SINKER. Media latches onto it because it sells. They dont care if its real or not, IT SELLS!! They have learned.....NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American public. They will believe whatever the media tells them. Kelly is the perfect example of that. History proves it again and again.......and again.

Ethanol is a good example, they all told us (CERTAIN scientists and politicians) that it was a saving grace. But the FACTS are it makes more pollutants to produce than if you were using straight fossil fuels. Whos the fool here? The politician buying this shit or the idiot that believes it?

Should I run out and sell my daily driver '63 Comet and '68 F-250 because they pollute more? The Comet gets an avg. of 20-24mpg, my truck 14-16mpg. Last time I looked this is comparable to new vehicles. How much polutants and raw materials will it take to produce the new car and truck that I buy?

Yep, nothing wrong with common sense aproaches to cutting polution, but unfortunately common sense is about as far from politics as my marriage to Jessica Alba is.
