[The Straight Story]

Corporations have gotten away with polluting assloads over the years, but it seems those in power (politicians/corporations) are telling us we need to change our life, go green, drive less, etc - all the while they don't.

Change should start at the top, but they get around such change by buying 'offsets', saying that them burning fossil fuels (with limos, their jets, etc) at a high rate is only for our own good...ie, don't do as we do, do as we say.

If a preacher did the same (think Ted Haggard, PTL Club, etc and so on) we would be all up in arms about the hypocrisy. People we 'like' do it, we applaud their leadership.

You and me become the 'problem' to them that needs fixed - all the while we were only consuming what they were producing.

How does that work???
