(190 posts)we should change because it's correct.
I oppose the OP because the way it's laid out... we'll never get consensus.
it was just another anti-car screed that left no room for reality.
I know peak oil is a reality... more specifically I understand why using oil is bad. you're putting carbon back into the air that hasn't been there for MILLIONS of years. that the rotation of the earth is different now, and that we can no longer afford to have so much carbon in the air.
this is no longer a garden planet, so even if we burn all the oil there's no way to deal with it.
the OP was still a screed i'm sick of hearing. bitch bitch bitch, with no real solutions.
it wasn't thought out, it was a screed, mental diarrhea, venting and pointless.
however... it started a discussion.. which in it self is never a bad thing, so I may reconsider my opinion on the op after all.
