Entry: Can you say hypocricy? Sunday, February 25, 2007



I was just watching the Oscars.  Al Gore was on withLeo DiCaprio talking about how the Oscars have gone all Green and how I should visit the Oscar site to find out how they did it.  Okay, I went there and all it was was a list of ways that I can go green.  Nothing about what the Academy did to make the awards show eco-friendly. Nice. Basically, it was all a bunch of bullshit to help them kiss up to Al Gore,inventor of the green movement, as well as the internet.

I think it is pretty safe to say that the majority of these major league hypocrites did not fly coach to today's ceremonies.  In fact,  I am willing to bet that LAX was teeming with Lear Jets carrying 2 or 3 people aboard, burning more fossil fuels in a day than my Honda burns in a year.  Sorry Hollywood, I'll start listening to you about the environment the day I see a picture where Brad Pitt doesn't have a Marb hanging out of his mouth.

On a more local level, Mike and I were behind a $50,000 gas guzzling Mercedes yesterday literally covered with bumper stickers letting the world know that the driver did not eat food with a face or eat vegetables that were treated with pesticides. I need to point out that the driver had perfectly foiled hair. I found this amusing considering the fact that for all her self righteous broadcasting of her belief systems, she was probably doing more damage to the animals with her noxious fume burning German machine and her awesomely coifed animal tested dye job than me, who ate farm raised chicken nuggets twice this weekend.

Then, there is that place I go to everyday.  I won't specify what type of place it is.  But they are all about vegan this and sustainability that.  But Sweet Jesus, they kill more effing trees everyday than I have ever seen in my life.  I seriously trip over file cabinets every single day.  In 2007. Oi.

Seriously, the whole world is effing backwards.  They just don't get it. If your going to talk the talk, than you better anti up and walk the walk....

Me...I don't really walk the walk that well...but at least I don't have the audacity to pretend to... 

Just saying, is all....

Ok, here's what I don't get it was AlGore talking and you thought it was going to be legitimate?

I saw some of their suggestions flashing on the screen behind Melissa Etheridge. My thoughts were "some of these aren't even feasible". Mass transit? First off, I live in the country. Sure, I could move to town, but then-there is NO mass transit in this small rinky-dink town. So, I will run my Honda when I need to go anywhere. There is just NO alternative.

I agree, the real environmentists are few and far between. I happen to believe that Gore is one.

Have you seen "An Inconvienent Truth"? I was impressed. The fact that this has been a 30 year fight for Al Gore gives him credibility. In his bid for president they used his environmentalist stance as ammo that he was too liberal.. I don't know, I think the masses are starting to listen.
