anon: did you just imply that roseanne is crappy? you must me thinking of grace under fire.

That said, I think the very foundation of the Green movement and its surrounding camps of belief are flawed. WHY should we feel guilt for being addicted to our laptop? WHY should we feel guilt for owning the entire box set of Roseanne . . . these entities (while not necessarily a net positive on the environment or world) are not nuclear weapons, or coal fired power plants . . . basically what I’m trying to say is that the only way people will subscribe to a “consume-LESS” society/movement is if they feel GOOD about it. Guilt is not a feeling that people strive for. Indeed, cut down on shit you don’t need (eg: morning StarbuKKKs, plastic bottled water, driving when you could walk, etc, etc, etc), but even cavemen were addicted to things . . . I’m sure there were a few Neanderthal queens out there addicted to fur pelts. Basically, do what you can, where you can, when you can and always challenge yourself to do better . . . but making yourself feel guilty for being addicted to your laptop of crappy DVD’s is not helping anyone.
