I started using CFLs because it was a good idea. No one forced me to. If the government wants to force me to use CFLs then I will defy the environmental hacks for as long as I can. F*cking bastards!

When it comes to Greenies, solidarity brother. We have a saying here, "the only true wilderness is between a greenies ears". But, I must take you to task on one issue. I believe you are wrong in saying that people come before thw planet. The planet surely should be a priority. If our grand kids are to have the same standard if life as we do, we need to do the hard things like; clearing the Amazon, creating cleaner electricity, reduce the pollution of ground water, have cleaner exhaust emitions, and the list goes on.
There has to be a bit of common ground here, we need to get rid of the "idiot fringe" element of the green movement, you know, the ferals who live on welfare in the bush without housing, creating a mini environmental disaster where they live by not having correct sanitation and running water and are at the forefront, chaining themselves to dozer's to stop legitimate logging operations.
The environment is a very fragile thing that needs to be controlled properly. Locking up large tracks of land that can't be used is not the way to protect it. When it is managed properly, it can be used responsibly as a renewable resource.
Green groups and users of the resources need to be able to meet and sort this out with no hidden agendas from oil companies and logging and mining companies. You will find that the view of the greens and the loggers and miners are very similar.
Get rid of the crap and hidden agendas.
