Green As Guilt

George F. Will - Going Green to Alleviate Guilt -- but Not Much Else - washingtonpost.com People are buying hybrid cars so they can feel better about their driving. Typically for most liberals it is not about actually doing something about the problem, the real reason is to feel better that they are doing something. The effectiveness of what they are doing is not as important as actually doing something. People like to sort their trash, buy products that can be recycled, and collect bottles and cans from the trash. They like this because they can feel better about saving the planet. Too many Americans are becoming citizens of the world and trying to save the planet. Not enough of them are trying to save America and be good citizens of the nation. Keeping our nation clean, keeping our cities and rivers and lakes clean should be important to us. Other nations that develop into more advanced technological societies their need for transportation, packaging and manufactured goods will increase greatly. The best things we can do for the world to save the planet is to develop vehicle engines that use less fuel, burn cleaner, and don't use oil based products. Rather than feeling guilty, rather than having the government regulate our society and businesses to death, we should be training scientists to work on these projects that's the view from the Hysterical Right Wing.
