That's it Grizz, I am offended and I called the "Feelings Police". She wants to talk to you about two issues.

This interrogation could take all night... Well, O.K., three minutes at least.

Well, my point about the H3 was not necessarily about contributing to global warming but simply contributing to excessive consumption and abusive usage of natural resources...We are all responsible for our share and if everybody thinks twice before acting (buy a smaller car, consolidating trips while running errands, etc...nothing excessive, simply takes a few thoughts) a little surely can go a long way...We have destroyed SO much in the past 80 years that had been respected and maintain for 1000s of years before us...Wonder how we ended up at the top of the food chain!!!

You can force people to do their share the most you can do is be accountable for yourself...That;s at least how I try to lead my life.

I'm not sure preaching about conservation will go too far on this forum. I could be wrong...which is 95% of the time.

"Well, my point about the H3 was not necessarily about contributing to global warming but simply contributing to excessive consumption and abusive usage of natural resources"

This suggests that there is an appropriate level of "consumption" and a "non-abusive" usage of natural resources.

I am wondering how you define them? To some, the ownership of a car is sufficient to signal an inappropriate useage of "natural resources" IE oil I presume. These folks would have you fiding the bus, taking the train, riding your bicycle.

To others, the H3 is perfectly fine and it is the jet airliner that is to blame.

Where is the line drawn? Where is the gold standard? When will we run out of oil?

Hint, not in our lifetime or your kid's either. Or their kid's either.

Good topic though.

How about the school of thought that owning a sporty, expensive, mediocre-fuel efficient porsche is as bad as owning a H3. Top that off with, GOD FORBID, owning a SECOND car. A BMW, maybe, or toyota. Do you really need two cars unless they're Prius'?

That line you pegged, Brucelee, is one continuing shifting SOB.
