Healy, it's not about the way YOU live. It's about the control the eco-freaks want to have over all of our lives, taking away all of our freedoms and choice to live our lives the way we want to live. I have no problem with you living in an old, drafty home. Just don't force me to live in one.
Every day the grip these freaks have on our daily lives grows ever more onerous. I fear for our future.
You are so right. I don't look over my neighbors fences for any reason. It does seem that environmentalist seem to have a desire to keep track of numbers, quantities, degrees. We do these things out of necessity, and I just won't pay more than I have to. I do though (and this is my confession) drive to work everyday, and it is only about 5 blocks. I don't believe people cause global warming/cooling.
