"If you're not an environmentalist, you're suicidal and should seek counciling"That was a bumper sticker I saw on my way home tonight. It would have been ok if it were on an electric car or something, but it was on the back of this Hyundai POS with the muffler falling off, burning oil, and generally polluting more in that trip than my car did last year.
Aside from that irony, I think that example speaks volumes about environmentalism. I wanted to run her off the road and ask her:
"If you're so concerned about the environment, why don't you own a cleaner car?"
I know the answer would have been:
"Because I can't afford a better car."
At which point I would have asked her to qualify when it's more important to go into the red and save the world than it is to be able to eat/make profit. Just a thought.
