That’s how many we’d *need* if everyone lived like me. However, with altruism and barbaric faith being the prominent philosophical guidelines across the globe, I don’t think we have anything to worry about. In other words, while I wouldn’t consider myself wealthy, I maintain a quality of life that requires the denial of the destructive mindsets listed above.

So, onward my fellow greedy Americans! Let’s keep those carbon footprints growing!

Once again, life is all about trade-offs - adhering to the environmental mindset in exchange for comfort, prosperity, security and freedom are not ones I’m willing to make..

I wanted to harvest and document all my thoughts on this non-issue but I found someone else who’s done much better than I could…

In addition to Jason’s insight I would only add my thoughts (which apply to most scenarios where someone is offended) : If you’ve taken offense to something said, you chose to do so. If it *really* applies to you, then it’s merely the truth and being offended means you don’t like reality - change it. If it doesn’t apply to you ignore it and move on.

Being “offended” is meaningless, and is a waste of consciousness.
