DO SOMETHING, Please... we're running out of time.

Here's an update - old, really, but here it is anyway - look up tesla electric car on youtube. It's there. People drive it. No imagination necessary.

So, what to rant on today? I'm thinking it's time to slam the tree huggers a bit. They go around telling everyone how bad they are and what they're doing to the en-viron-ment, and that we should all live in the woods without shelter and TV and air conditioning. Also don't eat meat, because our canine teeth are lying to us when they look like they're supposed to tear flesh. That's NOT the way to effect cultural change - honestly, it's like any religious branch starting with the phrase, "you're condemned as you are." The way to get people to change their practices is to start with acceptance that we're all different. All of us are able to change PART of what makes us wrong. Start there. I'm not giving up my A/C, leather, steak - particularly venison, gaming system, or ability to complain JUST BECAUSE I don't want to vote for a major party. JUST DO ONE THING. Go buy a CFL. (see below). If you don't go to church, read the bible and see what's in it by yourself. If you do go to church, read the bible and see what's in it by yourself. And if your parents say you don't have a right to complain because you didn't vote, remember there is still freedom of expression - and you WILL vote if that's in jeopardy. Maybe if you have the skill, start doing projects on the side like making electric lawn tractors out of broken gas ones. Or snow blowers. I'll buy one. (offer good only for one mower or blower, not for one from each person making one. But I WILL help sell them on Ebay or something after that.)

Everyone has something they can do. The problem is that people think EVERYONE should do EVERYTHING. That's not the way to encourage a large culture to change. Start with a direction, then make it happen. All right, I have a baby and I'm tired. Rant you later!
