(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
It's my theory that the majority of "eco-activists" are losers driven by envy.
They're (too lazy, too mentally unstable, too stupid, too arrogant, etc. - take your pick) to accumulate wealth be the conventional route of working for a living. That's why the cars you see decorated with "save the whales" stickers are usually clapped out econo boxes and the drivers are long haired greasy hippie freaks. The majority are driven by envy. They see what other people have and looking at themselves see that they have nothing want to punish other people for being successful and making better life choices. After all what "environmental activist" thinks himself inferior to a successful businessman? Answer none - in fact they think themselves superior because they have "environmental awareness" (wahtever that is). So if they're superior, and yet the other guy is better off something must be wrong - YES the other guy is an evil polluter contributing to global warming and something has to be done to stop that - hence these wacky laws in the wackyiest state in the union.
Just my theory.
