Since the vast majority of people believe the fiction that recycling is helping to “save the planet,” shouldn’t there be an awareness-raising campaign that seeks to tell them the truth?

I’m looking forward to seeing “The Office” next week, because if they make Dwight a mindless “recycling Nazi,” they might actually make something worth watching.

And how is that worse than what Californicans do? Which is to build their coal fired powerplants hundreds of miles downwind in Northern Nevada or on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona/New Mexico?

At last Modern Family makes fun of the homosexual character. The rest treat them like they are one of the Vs who have come among us to bring compassion and understanding.

You think people are not thinking of the environment unless the Enlightened Elites tell us. Yes, libs think we are all this stupid. But no, Barry O, we don’t need to be told by a smug minority how to walk, and where to toss trash, etc. I think we had that figured out long before Tina Fey and her ilk thought to bring us a “teaching moment” (A pompous statement if there ever was one).

Keeping thermostats low? Didn’t Carter lecture us on the same thing. I remember him wearing a sweater too.

Fair enough BarryO, but I bet you’d be the first to start bitching if a conservative administration was asking TV shows to insert plot lines about social security reform or domestic oil drilling. I’m guessing you just like to see people on TV who agree with you and don’t care about clunky exposition or the bastardization of the scripts. But hey, GE will makes billions off the green movement and since they are big democratic donors I guess that is corporate greed you’re OK with.

@Blackhawk – if you are worried about the “faux agreement tone,” then you are still a relative newbie. People respond all the time in that manner. Don’t get thrown by the tone, because there are facts in there that are scary. Stick to some good, old blues in Toledo with Eric (the king of “faux agreement tone”) – sorry Eric you got thrown under the bus on that one since you were standing close to him, and I have seen your Crap of Bull episodes, comrade.

The question is, why would you prefer to be lectured to by Al Gore than to watch your favorite comedy show come up with the best idea they can, rather than have a theme dictated to them from on high?

Are you a masochist? Or do you like having your beliefs reinforced so much that you actually do find this entertaining?
