Kevin like most liberals who jumped on a bandwagon you apparently haven't done much research. I suggest you read "Diet For a Small Planet" then get back to me. The production of meat is the #2 source of pollution in this world. I am talking about the commercial production of meat. Why do you think that much of the rain forest was being decimated ? Gee so that you could have a Big Mac and an inexpensive one at that. Also 15 times as much protein can be grown on 1 acre of land that is used for growing beef without polluting. Many people argue that many in the world starve so that Americans can gorge on meat. Also it takes 2000 gallons of water to raise 1 lb of beef. God I am just amazed at how poorly educated so many liberals are on the environment <ggg> .Strange to have to be educated by a right winger.

"It is certainly a balance between environmentalism and quality of life" Funny... I thought quality of life had more to do with the quality of your own environment?? Getting rid of poisoned water and a heating planet create a better quality of life. Hell, our grandchildren will probably never make it out of this mess... talk about quality of life... they will have no life! Now, if you're talking about things such as using your computer, and its trade-off w/ the environment, then consider that wind energy is now cheaper than conventional power. Solar energy could also be... all we need is a President w/ the guts to really push alternative energy. Bush claims to be pro-environment and pro-energy at the same time, but then wants to reduce the Dept of Energy's alternative energy funding by 30-40%! Tell me how that can possibly add up?? Add into the mix the fact that we are dependent upon OPEC, then one really wonders how delusional and foolish this president is? If we have our own, cheaper, environmentally-friendly energy... how can that be worse than what we have today?? Do you realize that some 40-60% of the net energy coming from a power plant is lost along the way to your home, over all those wires? Why isn't the president pushing solar panels and wind turbines?? Why doesn't he get brave and do something such as requiring alternative energy resources in all new homes that are built?? Why spend money on regular roofing when solar panels can be the roofing?? Fuel cell technology is finally here... why doesn't he push this?? These are win-win-win solutions vs lose-lose-lose. What the heck is his problem?? Oh, I forgot... he's done 1 too many hits of coke, and drank too many brain cells away before he "found the lord". And that's another $2-5 Billion question as to why he is wasting our tax money on religion?? - Zen
