Maggie's Farm

Carbon for me but not for thee. The hypocrisy - nay, deception - abounding amongst the carbon fanatics causes me to doubt whether they really believe anything of what they say. Perfect example, at Samizdata. I guess gummint carbon doesn't count. Gaia apparently loves Government Carbon.

Here's my pledge: When politicians, bureaucrats, and Greenies quit flying and driving, and quit generating tree-murdering piles of paper upon which are written unintelligible rules for me, I will reconsider their sincerity.

I'll never forget my Greenie friend who preached thus to me in my cozy red-neck bar one snowy night this winter in the Massachusetts Berkshires: "I have to drive to get to work, but you could ride a bike because you're closer." My reply: "They will have to pry my F-150 out of my cold dead hands."

Yes, she had driven to Rudy's Bar and Grill too, in her Camry, and somehow made it home without a DUI. I don't approve of wasting precious ethanol as a fuel, but I do believe in that old "in vino veritas." My friend is very moral and sanctimonious, but she does like to drink stuff with ethanol in it.

She prefers Wild Turkey (which is entirely organic), but she isn't too picky about guys.
