Marty, Marty, Marty...you gotta stop talking complete sense like that! There are uneducated knuckle-dragging chest thumpers here that need to vent invective on anything green or liberal, no matter how much sense it makes! Healthy kids? C'mon! Less dependence on foreign oil? Oh sure, throw logic out there like it's the sensible thing to do! Now what are the dim bulbs to do? Maybe spout off against sustainable tree farms for paper products, or non-destrutive wind, tide and thermal energy? Get a grip man! What's next? Suppport for ending foreign wars and rebuilding America? Ha!
