"Radical" for all the wrong reasons

Stupid "anarchist" kids annoy me. They don't know shit. This happens on many occasions, but I will just enlighten you with one that I encountered only a few minutes ago. My friend Ian was talking about oil and politics for a second and soon afterwards the anarchist type said "Did you know they are trying to pass a law that makes it illegal for SUVs get under 27 miles to the gallon? Instead of just lowering the gas prices they do that instead." Alright, only an idiot would be angry that the government is forcing the auto industry to make more efficient cars. I just ignored it, because he probably has too small of a scope of issues to understand just how conservative, yet anti-conservationist, his remark really was.

There is the concern that this is only a temporary solution, though. It won't mean shit in the long run, since the government is still ignoring any efforts to find alternative power sources. I think that's what he meant when he got upset at that...

i dunno about that. not wanting SUVs to have higher fuel effeciency standards just seems STANGE. we shouldnt even use gas, of course, but we do, and better standards makes sense, even if it isn't the best we can do.
