Reply #41: I say only vote if you are going to then tell the world what you are doing in response to Live Earth

Anyone can vote on a poll, and this supposed BS freepering (which really can't be proven one way or the other on the whole thanks to the segment of this population that really is too distracted by bs to care) and then just voting to counter it solves nothing. And who knows, maybe some "draft" people who act like freepers also voted it flopped as they would love nothing better than to see that happen because they don't want Mr. Gore to have any successful endeavors out here. They must or they wouldn't have flown a C02 pollution spewing plane over the stadium during the concert like the freepers did. So again, polls mean absolutely nothing on the Internet. It is sad actually that this is what it has come down to... People still politically bickering over it, especially when the many people in developing countries feeling the effects of our excessive lifestyles don't even have computers or electricity to watch these concerts or the tools to fight the climate crisis effectively! That is what our focus should be on now, not some poll that gauges nothing but political animosity.

I wish they had actually given the choice that it is still too soon to tell, but I guess that would be too logical. And it wasn't just about the artists, it was a worldwide event that included all of us. I personally while being totally uplifted by the event as I wrote about here am really very disappointed so far in the outcome. It seems even here it doesn't get seriously spoken about except now to "du" a poll, but not about it in terms of how it actually is moving people to change their own lives and spread that change to others. I'm not even voting in it. I say, let our ACTIONS now speak louder than any poll, unless of course "freeping" and "DUing" polls is all anyone really wants to do now because it is so much easier than actually doing something concrete to really address this crisis.

And so now political elements will be basing all of environmentalism and its effect on one concert, when it was only the launch of a three year plan that is just getting started. Sounds about right in mentality for this country. http://www.tree-nation.com/community/petition.php?id=25 This however, proves that people in all countries DO CARE and are willing to pledge to be climate messengers in order to plant trees. But who cares about that, right?
