Leviathan trickles into everything and everyday life. I was in line at Home Depot yesterday and the guy manning the solar electricity booth asked if I wanted solar panels on my roof. I said “Hell No” — you can only sell these things because of massive federal taxes and subsidies and I didn’t want to suck of the government tit. He said “you might as well get yours while the getting is good.” Then I really lit into him about how that attitude was destroying liberty and the nation is sunk if we are all about getting what we can from Uncle Sugar. He responded how evil fossil fuels are and then I really exploded.
“He responded how evil fossil fuels are and then I really exploded.”
Tell the SOB that those evil fossil fuels are acquired by private enterprise not some fly by night outfit such as his that springs up after government incentives and mandates to suck at the taxpayer trough.

Let me guess where you are NOT located. This guy would have not made it out of the parking lot in many areas.
Like the evil fossil fuels that generate the power to run the factory in China that manufactures the solar panels he is pedaling?
And the evil fossil fuels that power the boat and train and truck used to deliver the solar panels to his place of work?
And the evil fossil fuels that power the transportation he rides to get back and forth to work everyday?
(That last one might take some explaining because many over-educated True Believers don't understand that most of America's electricity is generated by fossil fuels. They think if they use an electric car they have cut their dependence on fossil fuels.)
