5. Good to hear!
Like always, look at both sides of anything and discern for yourself. I think many are learning to do this, regardless of their abstract affiliations to dominant, cultural, and media-fed ideas.

Now you can be more like the growing chaste of American poor folk who do that conservation naturally and without fanfare or questionable manipulation.

So, we are doing our part to assure that the wealthy will have even more resources and be able to capitalize on this new "feel good" distraction. Heck, its even better than recycling! Oh, and we are loving the food prices now that those green bio-fuels are escalating essential agricultural prices. We wouldn't want our hungry pie holes to interfere with your driving habits, commutes, and vacations.

If the poor could afford those cloth bags and new, mercury-laden, energy-saving light bulbs, they might splurge ... when gas and food become more affordable, that is.

Look for the good investments that will come from this, though! ;)
