5 second memory
mass transit. most definitely. and our real problem is americans have a 5 second memory. who can recall from one moment to the next what was mentioned before when you're bombarded with the detritus of our lives through every conceivable form of media. we do need to think of very solid, long term solutions and we've known that alternative energy - that is, appropriation of monies to support it in some significant way - is critical. we know the oil companies have to pay more taxes like every other commodity out there. and we know that we as individuals have to think of ways to use less and enjoy life more.

No Price to Pay - Priceless
It's just so typical of the average American, including the media, to consider our natural resources free and limitless, that so many years of overuse and abuse won't cost us anything. Capitalism at it's most defiant... It's not about substance or quality or a question of abundance (with respect to resources) but about how much profit you make. That's why there's a lot of bitching and moaning going on (fear of regulations and compliance)and a lot of false claims that we don't have to be concerned about the environment.

global warming legislation
Why do I find it hard to believe that Bush and his administration has an altruistic bone in their collective 'body' and would actually make a non-partisan move to help the planet? Especially as reported in a story coming from The Washington Times.
There have been financial advisors circulating a BBC documentary that contests Al Gore's claims in "Inconvenient Truth," probably so there won't be the regulatory nightmares you're referring to (which will affect the bottom line of all the polluting corporations). But let's face it. Things have gone too far so that's why it feels like a bad dream!

green sabotage
this is really intriguing. more recently i noticed an e-mail circulating questioning the validity of Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" and some "wealth building" seminars that are sponsored by some pseudo scientific conservative think tank trashing all the premises of global warming. Do you think that has anything to do with this?

congestion pricing plan
i have a better idea. move all the rich people out of manhattan and bring back the poor people. that'll get rid of the cars and bring a little more soul back into the city!
no, really, i think you're right on, Charles, for the reasons why the pricing plan didn't go through. maybe if public transport like the lirr were more reliable, people would be more willing to relinquish their cars. i know, i'm dreaming!
