Massacre, I wasn't trying to make any point at all, really. All I was saying was that we can be conscious of our lives and what we do and how it may affect our environment without giving up any sort of freedoms. I'm not looking to get into any debate or anything at all at this point. There's enough I can attack and defend and whatever else, it's just not worth it, especially on some "comment page" of an article I found interesting. My comments were not directed at you as much as they were directed at the postings and the direction they were going in. I don't stand with the "Greens" as you put them or with any party really. Party-politics is bull and as closed minded as anything else. I've seen Penn and Teller and I feel it's a great show (not just the one on recycling, but their entire BS series). The reason I feel like this is not the medium to have this discussion is that, as you can see, our comments are so easily misconstrued. I never aimed to attack you, which it apparently seemed, or anyone. You are under the impression I am some blind follower of some other group or some ignorant liberal. Because we are limited on a comment page, the things we spout off about are so limited it seems like we only know what's been told to us, and clearly that's not the case. If I wanted to make a point earlier, it would be lengthy like your last one, and I don't feel the desire to do that here. I don't even entirely know why I defended this much aside from trying to reassure you that I'm not aiming for anything or at anyone regarding any sort of political point.
Take an astronomy course if you're concerned with "cyclical energy release of the sun" and it's relation to climate change.
Come to terms with the fact that our CO2 (as well as loads of other global warming gasses) output is excessive. Just because its "less than our planet" produces doesn't mean we're not grossly accelerating the rate. Take those blinders off...there is no need to "usurp freedom;" we can still live as "free" as we do with our eyes open to the environment and our world.
Why can't anyone read an interesting article with some amazing natural phenomena without attempting to make a cheap political point in the meantime?
