My point is that my taxes are so small, maybe I shouldn't pay any, you know , i contribute so little. Like 0.001%. It makes 2.75% look like a big effort.
How is the argument any different?
We all do our bit as best as we can. It takes individuals to own up to their behaviour for any progress to be made. Sometimes we need a nudge, ie emission controls.
I never said dont use a car or carbie motor. We got what we got, but thats no reason to have no ambition or thought when we next buy. The car I drive is less polluting than my first car and the next one will be even better. I am sure the current 2 stroke carbie models are much better than the ones made in 1975 too. And I recon these tiny motors dont pollute as much as a 300hp whatever. Sure some perspective
I am sure chipped blue stone makes for a good axe head as well. Some people will swear black and blue its the best ever. OK OK, i jest now, but you get my drift..
Look, i am just holding up a mirror and sometimes we dont like what we see or refuse to see whats really there and play tricks with ourselves. Thats the human condition. It creates great things and destroys everything. Its like on saturday, we voted back a government who's claim to fame is economic management. The fact that they pissed $100b into the wind and doubled the deficit just wasnt a concern, FEAR of the other side trumped everything. How much shit can we tolerate and how long do we turn a blind eye before we act ? ( i am sure other issues had an influence as well)
Thats humans for you, irrational and illogical yet cant live without em.
Happy boating while we can and dont feel guilty. It just may not last .
