That’s not relevant to this discussion, from my point of view.Do you agree that the market is not infallible and need government intervention in order for it to stay course?
That’s not relevant to this discussion, from my point of view.
I said you made my point. That’s not making it about you.
So, are you uninformed?
Do you receive some sort of special info that is inaccessible to the majority of the citizens?
Dude, we're 6 pages into this thread. In the interest of fostering a real discussion, how about giving a response that's more than a sentence or two?
You said “And what is this?
Or this?
Some folks are intimidated by brevity. Not my problem.Dude, we're 6 pages into this thread. In the interest of fostering a real discussion, how about giving a response that's more than a sentence or two?
How many uninformed people are out there? And if there’s all these caring, yet uninformed people out there, how do you suppose that folks like you are so informed?
You took it off topic and tried to goad me. I gave an opinion on your post.You're an admin. I would've thought that fostering thoughtful discussion would've been part of the job.
I see the point. And not to make it personal, but you seem to be informed despite the great lengths that some business obviously go through to keep people uninformed.You're asking why some people are informed, but other aren't?
Being informed is only a small part of the equation -- being organized can be far more effective... sometimes in spite of information. Indeed -- an ignorant but organized group can accomplish far more than disorganized people who happen to be in the know... regardless of numbers. Exhibit A: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
...but I digress.
My point is that those in power go to great lengths (great by our plebeian standards, but pocket change compared to the cost of actually going green) to keep people not only uninformed, but disorganized.
There's also the issue of costs to the consumer... the company that goes green sells its product for 25% more than then one that dumps. Many people would like to make a stand on principle, but principle doesn't put food on the table, does it?
By way of analogy, back in the days of all the anti-Wal-Mart hysteria, there were people naive enough to suggest boycotting the superstore. A pipe dream, for the simple reason that the people who could hurt Wal-Mart the most with a boycott are precisely the ones who couldn't afford to boycott it.
But I digress again... I have no issue with Wal-Mart, although I'm more of a Target man, myself.
Are you starting to see the point?
Control? No. Effect? We have been for over 100 years.We are not in a position to control the climate.
I admire your optimism. I gave up a while back.Dude, we're 6 pages into this thread. In the interest of fostering a real discussion, how about giving a response that's more than a sentence or two?
