We should all have our pledge.
I pledge to buy the biggest, most audacious gas guzzler I can afford.
I pledge to drive, even when I don’t need to.
I pledge to leave my lights on when I leave a room.
I pledge to flush twice, maybe three times, even if I am just dropping a Kleenex in from blowing my nose.
I pledge to chop down another half acre of trees but instead of extending my lawn, I am going to put in gravel.
I pledge to get my oil changed every two months instead of every three months.
I pledge to not take public transportation with the exception of airlines.
I pledge to leave my thermostat up higher during the winter and lower during the summer.
Lol, I already do most of those things, and not even on purpose! I guess I’ll have to start chopping down those trees!
I pledge not to burn up gasoline going to the movies to see anyone who agreed to the above pledge.
I pledge to not force my beliefs or standards on anyone else, especially by force of law. If they don’t want to know what’s right, that’s their problem.
I was watching the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News last week, and he was complaining about how cold it was. So he had an SUV idling outside the studio the whole time, occasionally showing it on screen with the driver waiving at the camera. It was pretty funny.
