Cheryl blames self-centered Americans for WRECKING the planet.

Personally, I'm gonna wait until the Dixie Chicks and several other learned scienci-type musicians complete the research on this topic.

Maybe then I will start blaming myself

I see it's an opinion piece. Well, I'll offer my opinion. Sheryl Crow is a has been that needs to stick to music. If she wants to extend her 15 minutes of fame, sing something. If she wants to write an op ed, research it before opening her pie hole.

I'd rather she didn't.

If arrogance causes global warming, then we need to start the clean-up in California.

Instead of mocking those who want to save the planet, why not just learn more about how you can help?

[Psychoblues]

Truth is, Sammi, some of these folks are so stupid that they don't recognize the problem as being a real one.

I live in one of the most backward states in the Union, Mississippi, and I am doing my very best to ascertain that we as Mississippians do what we can. I really am surprised by our progress in this area and I am encouraged by recent legislation that better times are ahead for us environmentalists that are serious about what we do and what we plan to do.

May I suggest you take the same approach to the WOT and Iraq ?

I do what I can. This just didn't seem to be a serious discussion, and more of another 'stupid celebrity opens her mouth' thread. I intended to reference the South Park episode wherein San Francisco is the largest source of smug in the country, but was about to go to bed when I posted, thus it wasn't entirely coherant. Please do not misread my intentions.

As for my environmental part, I don't drive a whole lot, and my car gets over 40 miles/gallon on the highway. I try to avoid doing business with companies that don't hold up to emmissions standards, and I'm a huge advocate of clean coal and nuclear technology.

The Smug episode had me in stitches. A must see.

[Psychoblues]

Seriously, I laughed my butt off the couch on that one, Dilloduck!!!!

It was GREAT satire!!!!!!! Now, what do we do about OUR environment? Laughing isn't getting anything done, don't you know?

If this is such a national crisis.....

Why didn't Clinton-Gore do anything about it, when they were in the white house...:poke:

Sure. Let's just all get off the Earth. That ought to solve the problem. ;)

Personally, I really want to do my part to help reduce global warming. I have stopped flying my personal jet to and from work, I build smaller camp fires at my pond where we fish on Friday nights, I don't idle my big nasty tractor trailer unless it's really hot and I want to learn how to wipe my butt with one sheet of toilet paper.

I just want Sheryl to film a short video demonstrating how this can be done. Just show me, am I using the wrong brand?

She only uses one sheet, but because she's important, it's the size of a beach towel.

Actually Psycho, I have noticed that you seem to be laughing alot lately. You do realize that hard laughter does release warm breath into the enviornment thereby lending to our serious global warming problem.

As a further observation I wopuld be curious to know if you have mastered the technique of the one sheet wipe as suggested by your coll....coleuge....colleg (how the fuck do you spell coleague anyway?) Sheryl Crow.

Man, you be from Northern Iowa and that would be funny!

That makes me want to do a 360 in my private jet!

[Psychoblues]

emmett, at my age I carry toilet paper just for farts. Know what I mean?

I figure with some laughter the alcohol content of my breath will somewhat diffuse the CO2 emissions around me and the NOX releases from the CIA will be less forthcoming while the H2O fermented will diminish the effects of the BS as prescribed by the PTB's from the WH.

Dig it?

I think I know why Lance called it quits.

Yeah but....He's going to miss out on all the moula from Sheryl's clothing line, made for GW..

Senate Bows to Auto Industry, Bush Administration--Ditches Fuel Economy Improvements

WASHINGTON - July 29 - The Senate today gave the Bush Administration and auto industry increased power to hold up progress on fuel economy standards. The Sierra Club criticized the Senate for doing nothing to save consumers money at the pump, reduce America's oil dependence and reduce global warming pollution. Instead, Senators passed a sham amendment proposed by Senators Carl Levin (D-MI) and Kit Bond (R-MO).
The Senate voted for the irresponsible Levin-Bond amendment, allowing the Bush Administration to deepen our oil dependence. The Senate failed to pass an amendment to significantly improve the fuel economy of cars and light trucks introduced by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL).

"In handing our nation's energy security over to the auto industry, the Senate bowed to the pressure of the Bush Administration working in cahoots with the auto industry," said Daniel F. Becker, Director of Sierra Club's Global Warming and Energy Program.

The Levin-Bond amendment leaves the fuel economy and safety issue to the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) without providing them with a target for oil savings. NHTSA has failed to effectively implement fuel economy regulations and enforce auto safety standards for the last 25 years. Indeed, average fuel economy of 2002 model year vehicles is the lowest since 1980. The Administration's close ties to the auto-industry, including Chief of Staff Andrew Card's previous position as chief lobbyist for General Motors, are further indications that NHTSA will do little to increase CAFE standards. The Bush Administration's recent announcement of a small 1.5 mpg increase in light truck fuel economy standards shows that it is not serious about cutting our oil use.

"The Senate ignored a chance to make real progress in reducing our oil dependence, saving consumers money, and cutting global warming pollution," said Gary Skulnik, Washington Representative on Sierra Club's Global Warming and Energy Program. "The American people demand better from our Senators than this irresponsible vote to elevate the auto industry's short-term interests over Americans' safety and energy security." http://www.commondreams.org/news2003/0730-05.htm

Any disagreements? Not with the article, the author or the source, but with the facts?

[stephanie]

You all want to answer my question....I asked earlier in this thread??

IF this was foreseen to be a catastrophic disaster for THE WORLD and our NATION..........

Why didn't Clinton-Gore do ANYTHING......in the time they were in the white house????

President Bush has only been in the white house six yrs..
Let's see........Clinton-Gore was there for???:poke:

I didn't think so.......:coffee:

[Psychoblues]

They did a lot. You are stupid and ignorant if you believe otherwise. I'm not going to do your research for your sillyass theory for you.
