eniapmot, I can agree fully with everything you say.

However, that's not what I hear LaBelle saying. Perhaps she's not making herself clear, perhaps I have a perception problem, but:

What I hear her saying is very close to what I hear from certain radical environmentalists I'm acquainted with - notice her references to SUVs, etc. These people feel that most modern conveniences are evil, earth-killing inventions - however, most of the ones I know are not willing to give such things up personally.

I still want to know what she herself has done to eliminate her dependence on the "oillah", and although I've asked twice now (and Miss Marple has asked as well) I've yet to receive an answer - only more insults, ad hominems, and environmentalist platitudes.

When I lived in Montana for a number of years, we created a BUMP'er sticker that goes to the heart of what you say. It said:

E N V I R O N M E N A L I S T S Welcome to MONTANA. Park at the border and WALK IN

None that I am aware of did. That is because at eart, most of them are really a bunch of elite/marxists using that issue to advance their agenda... and the using the naieve "useful idiots" they can get to climb on the bandwagon.

Ooops, the Bumper sticker looked like this:

E N V I R O N M E N A L I S T S
Welcome to MONTANA. Park at the border and WALK IN

Personally, I'm more interested in hearing what GWBush has to say on the topic. I haven't heard anything good. He hasn't pushed for ANWR, he's killed the possibility of off-shore drilling in the Great Lakes, he hasn't made any moves towards Nuclear...just Iraq, Iraq, Iraq...
