Reply #113: The global warming question got lost here... [View All]

It seems with this thread anyway, a majority don't see hypocrisy in his actions. I simply can't separate his materialism from the message, no matter how well intended and sincere John is. My point was it is not about his wealth - he earned it. I don't begrudge that at all. It is about how JE or anyone choses to either be part of the global warming solution or the problem. And global warming is a HUGE problem.

In my little corner of the universe, I take what actions I can to model that. Live in a small 3 bedroom/1200 sq ft home (I have 2 kids), grow food when possible, buy used & local. Recycle all I can. Have only planted native plants around my house. Live under the stars in a rural area surrounded by trees; not even one traffic light between here and work...hopefully, I will keep learning to walk my talk.

Kinda bummed my point here was not met with much agreement - which surprised me; though on balance, most of my posts have shared the common view of many passionate DUers. Don't mind being surpised at all. Good thing us DEMS don't march in lock step like many of the rethugs; the BLUE tent seems to hold room for a variety of views. I stand by this one.

Well, thanks Jcrowley for acknowledging points well made. Thats much appreciated.
