Welcome to Puna, Linchpin!
My mammy used to use a phrase: "clean up your own back yard before knocking on your neighbor's door". Now, my mam was an old Irish woman, and if she said something, you damned well better believe she lived it. Of course, I grew up on a Kentucky tobacco farm, so our nearest neighbor was..... good god, I can't even imagine now how far away the Pence farm was... but anyhow... I pose this:
How many of the people doing the chicken little dance and regurgitating the same "bbbbbbut the environment" phrases, smoke a pack or two of cigarettes a day tossing the butts out the window, drive a beat up piece of **** that spits out more gas fumes than my fat ass does after taco Tuesday and leaks like a sieve, fail to properly maintain their septic pits/tanks, etc etc....
Granted, I'm not a pure as Caesar's wife, but I don't call the kettle black when I'm being a pot either.
