OK, here's a different approach. You gotta admit that the GT40s.com crowd is a pretty conservative bunch, right? In other words, a lot of NRA, anti-gov't, republican, ex-military, slightly older, caucasian, independent-minded, individualistic, self-made types here, right? Certainly there are some democratic, more liberal folks here but, on balance, it's a pretty conservative group. Given that, it's not surprising that Al Gore/gay whale lovin'/tree huggin type viewpoints aren't real popular (see above). But, let's stay open minded and realize that over the last 20 years there's been a very real, significant and (what appears to be) lasting change in popular thought about the importance of maintaining, and not damaging, the environment, at least in most first-world countries. Don't you think that we're perhaps on to something real here? Or, is this whole change just a big conspiracy theory driven by greed and self interest? The latter seems unlikely to me.
Here's another thought - what if the conservative viewpoint here is wrong and the environmental damage becomes too severe and progressed to do anything about? What then? I'd like my four kids to have a great environment in which to grow up in (as I did when I was a kid). Personally, I'll take the more "green" approach and hopefully be proved wrong!
