Hypocrisy: the act of pretending to have morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practise. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning small, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute.
Hypocrisy: the act of criticizing others for behavior which one engages in as well.
And there it is...

Let us not forget all the pollution from their private jets. Two or three homes pollute more than one home. Then there is the Methane produced by the party goers from their hippie liberal vegan parties.

How many square feet are the combined Nantucket mansions of Ted Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy Jr., and John F'in Kerry??And how much GREEN energy would the use if they advocated the Cape Wind project instead of a regional, inefficient, polluting, oil-fired power plant in Sandwhich, Mass.??

I don't fault this guy's math. And he's right about the hypocrisy of celebrities. However, seriously, I almost never see more than one or two people in a Suburban or Escalade.

The Fraser Institute is an excellent conservative think tank, that continuously vexes Canadian lefties.
However, there was one glaring math error in the article:
"... are twice as likely to be involved in an accident (that risk is dependent on the number of vehicles and miles driven)"
There are twice the odds of some of the Civic travelers being in an accident -- but only half the passengers in each car, compared to the SUV scenario. The odds of an individual passenger being in an accident are identical, regardless of the number of vehicles involved.
