re: #136 darthstar

He retrofitted. He’s practicing (to his ability) what he preaches. If he kept a hummer idling in the driveway just in case he wanted to go to the store or the mailbox, then he’d be a hypocrite.

But I realize a lot of people resent Al Gore for winning in 2000 and then letting the Supreme Court give his election to bush…hell, I resent him for that. But on environmental issues, so long as he keeps working to make changes in his life (it’s a dynamic, not static process), then I’m not going to count the carbon in his farts.

Sorry. gotta disagree. practicing what you preach means practicing it before or damn near to the point where you begin to preach it. Retrofitting years after the preaching began in response to questions about the obvious waste = cover, not walking the walk.
