HD is indeed on to something here. Seattle Liberals are playing a one-ups-manship game of caring greenness. Any true environmental-conservation goals get pushed by the way-side as greenies compete to out-do each other. One neighbor gets a fuel sipping diesel the other gets a (nasty heavy-metal) battery powered hybrid . .. then Seattles MAYOR get's the game and ups it by having the city REPLACE perfectly fine cars with a new Fleet of Pious's. He has Seattle buy buses, and electric buses . .and then hybrid buses, and a train -"Oh, that sounds good." And he says, hey, let's make some laws to
force people to be green! Like YOU ARE FORBIDEN to toss out recyclables. --In Seattle, if you have recyclables in your trash you will be fined -yes; trash police. Then, do you expect a grocery bag with your $150 groceries for dinner? Seattles Mayor wants 20cent, for each bag needed, to go to the city . . you know, because he will show everyone that he is the greenest mayor in the land.
I'm just guessing that he will be out shopping for some
Shade grown, "fair trade" organic cotton pants that cost $290 . . .just because Seattlites can afford it.
