Green Protestor: End the Dream Cruise

I used to drive a 50 mpg Diesel, and for the past 12 years I've been walking to work only driving 5,000 miles a year. I'm as green as I can be but think this person is beyond silly. Yea, and I'm still waiting for my rechargeable lawn mower to become avaliable- sold out.

But are we Michiganders about the face a similar, perhaps well-intended but equally bone-headed, anti-car campaign taking aim at the premier U.S. classic car event? Joellen Gilchrist is a motivated environmental activist, and host of one of the Step It Up events taking place across the U.S. this weekend. But in a Detroit Free Press article, she pans the annual Woodward Dream Cruise.

Joellen Gilchrist knows her mission is heresy. She's expecting rude shouts and unkind gestures, but that won't deter her. She wants to stop the Dream Cruise.

This is one of the replies..

"BTW: Manmade CO2 comprises 0.09% of all greenhouse gases. Out of control coal mine fires in China each year release more CO2 than all the cars and trucks in the USA. I don't see any hand-wringing over that. For some dip***** greenie chick to fret about a car cruise is absurd -- yet a clear example of the lack of logic a leftist brain posesses."

Left side of the brain controls the logic and language, right side of the brain is artsy and spatial relationships.

Right or left, this woman is wrong.

I did not know about these coal mine fires in China, I'll have to look it up now

Calm down guys, do you even know anything about the person?

GGilchrist will meet with at least a dozen people in Beverly Park, on Beverly Road at Norchester in Beverly Hills, from noon to 3 p.m. today to plant trees and plan a protest for this year's Dream Cruise. A 63-year-old retired teacher, Gilchrist hopes to inject humor into the protest. "It works better than strident confrontation," she said.

Environmental groups have not been quick to join in. "Personally, I have nothing against the Dream Cruise," said Melissa Damaschke, conservation organizer for the Sierra Club chapter in Royal Oak. "It's a day to honor classic cars and pay tribute to our heritage here." The Sierra Club organizes a Green Cruise the previous week featuring walkers, bikers and skateboarders.
It ain't easy being green.

I think the guy I quoted was taking about the "leftist brain" as it relates to politics not her empty skull .

You mean those high ceiling uninsulated monsters?

I'm sure she wants to tear them all down.
