8. Agreed, mostly.
The driving season explanation may have some truth. Oil executives may be evil, conniving, conspiritory swine with no warm blood in their veins, but how many people drive their SUVs to the library to check out "An Inconvenient Truth", then drive a hundred miles or more to read it on the beach?

Another quote, this time from Pogo: "We have met the enemy and it is us." (Not exact, but close.) No one forced my neighbor to buy a Cadillac Esplanade. The bloody thing melts sea ice all by itself.

Consumers create demand. Carnivores merely take advantage of weakness.

(Holy cow, did the meds just kick in? Where did that come from?)
