If we were to limit voluntarily, we'd be able to get along better with the greenbelt fanatics. Maybe make some converts in the prospect. They aren't all bad. Erin Brokovich can tell you that. Besides, many here were Dems once. And once only! LOL!
I don't see a real need to make converts of the ecos based on bad economic principles. And I don't see a need to cut back. If individuals like you want to, or course, go ahead.
I believe, actually that the US oil industry should compete in a more muscular fashion with the Mid-East oil. The eco people have held us back for too long, causing a lot of the problems.
