How many of the folks in this thread have turned off their natural gas to their homes... have stopped driving their cars... ... stopped taking the train or bus?
In talking w/friends locally and reading the forums online... I'm finding the majority of us are hypocrites in the end (I put myself in front of the line on this one)...
Sure... you can cover yourself in chocolate sauce and trip out at the next committee hearing or next media event... ... but in the end you're probably as much at fault as BP and anyone else for that matter... we consume: else BP and the like wouldn't be in business.
The outrage seems a touch 'trendy' more than it does 'real'... creating a silly moratorium where we ban ourselves from finding the energy we need to consume to move on w/everyday life - meanwhile the Vietnamese... the Russians etc... all continue tapping away in the gulf on their own deep water platforms...
