The stance of Gore, Friedman, Prince Charles, and others of their ilk make perfect sense. If only a tiny slice of the world’s population, elitists and swells like Gore, Friedman, etc., live in palatial estates heated to 72 degrees in the winter and cooled to 68 in the summer, and jet around the globe in private jets sniffing down their nose at the unwashed masses below, that’s sustainable. But when we the unwashed masses, Joe Sixpacks and our ilk, start living in big houses, heated and cooled to our comfort, and hauling our boats behind our Canyonero SUV’s up to the lake for the weekend, that’s not sustainable. They have to put us back in our place to ensure that they can continue in their lavish lifestyles.
<>Of course Al will will be living out in the country, far from his view and our smell.
