Environmentalism, and liberalism in general, is often about adherents feeling better about themselves, the consequences be damned.

Anderson's blog at http://district5diary.blogspot.com/ is funny. Below is an excerpt of the Aug 19 2008 entry.

PART I A. ELECTION AND ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN

1. Q. How will you promote the election and advancement of women in local, state and federal elections? Describe specific examples. A. Are you implying that women in SF are an oppressed group? I don't believe it, and I have no intention of doing anything to promote women just because they are women.

2. Q. How will you support the appointment of women to the City’s commissions and boards? A. I won't support anyone just because she's a woman, or black, or gay, etc. For me politics in SF is about policy, not identity.

4. Q. What have you done in the past to promote the election and advancement of women in local, state and federal elections, and/or the appointment of women to the City’s commissions and boards? A. Nothing

1. Q. What are two or three of the major issues that need to be addressed to make San Francisco’s communities safer and more livable? A. We need to begin to deal with what I call the Punks with Guns issue by aggressively confronting the toxic rap/hip-hop culture many young black and Hispanic men grow up with that encourages misogyny, homophobia, and violence.

San Freakcisco IS POLLUTION.

"Regardless of the obvious dangers, some people will ride bikes in San Francisco for the same reason Islamic fanatics will engage in suicide bombings -- because they are politically motivated to do so," he wrote in a May 21 post.

Succinct...........

Unveiled in 2004, the 527-page [bike plan] was filled with maps, traffic analyses and a list of roughly 240 locations where the city hoped to make cycling easier.

Hmmm...527 PAGES?? I know what would cause the pollution. If they made 30 books to giove to the city council, it would be 15,810 pages.

The pollution was from the cutting down of the trees for those 527 pages!!
