Global Whining

I have to agree with this comment left by Pagar in response to this post by The Devils Kitchen.

My attitude is as follows.

If you want to cycle to work, switch your TV off after use and pay to have your carbon footprint erased that's fine.

If you want to tell me what car I can drive, where I can drive it and how many times a year I am allowed to fly in a plane, my instincts are to ask you politely not to interfere in my life.

If you ask me to pay you handsomely to create and enforce the legislation you want to enact to restrict my freedom, my instincts are to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Quite.
