<<However in truth I know far more leftists who talk the talk of leaving thier children better off environmentally than I know right wingers who would consent to the slightest inconvenience. >>

could be true. But the environmental leftists must never drive, because on the highway everyone does 70 in the 55 mph zones, and 80 in the 65 zones, even though driving about 40 mph in most cars would give almost twice the miles per gallon.

So it's strange but in all my years, i don't ever recall seeing any environmentalists on the highway. Because they'd drive slow, right?

and yes, Ed Begley Jr. does seem like the genuine article.
Too bad about the others.

On a related matter I recall when the IRS started to clamp down on movie stars for things such as studio-paid limos, saying the actors had to declare such amenities as 'income.'

Boy were the actors and studios mad. I guess taxes are just for the rest of us.
