The thing that drives me crazy is the hypocrisy of most of those in the green religion.
Imagine a person purchasing beer at a checkout counter while heaping shame upon the cashier for selling something that's harmful to humans.
Some in the green religion want to portray the oil industry as a super evil enterprise that cons good people into a product they wouldn't normally want. The consumer is the other half of the equation, so where's the part of the documentary vilifying all of humanity? We're free to live without petroleum derived products but choose to have them. If there was no demand, that industry would vanish.

Yep. They're out there.
At some point I developed 'emotion radar.'
I can sense when rational dialogue ends and enters into irrational, emotion-dominated discourse.
People lose all credibility when they leave the air-conditioned guzzler condominium, get into their air-conditioned gas-guzzler car, dressed like an Eskimo, in August, hopping from one Sinless Club venue to another, gutter-talking all of those who provide the creature comforts and possessions they 'expect.'
Ignoring them is bliss.
