Comments on: Ten Quick Questions With Colin Challen, MP About Climate Change http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/business/ten-quick-questions-with-colin-challen-mp-about-climate-change/148 for environmentalists who don't take themselves too seriously Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:42:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: nobbywebfoot http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/business/ten-quick-questions-with-colin-challen-mp-about-climate-change/148/comment-page-1#comment-217 nobbywebfoot Tue, 31 Jul 2007 07:31:57 +0000 http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/?p=148#comment-217 My feeling is that all politicians are great on talk but when it comes to the point of actually doing something unpopular this usually manifests as suggestions, directives to others, piffling tax incentives (most people do not earn enough or earn nothing that would make such incentives worthwhile to themselves), anything as long as it does not take taxes away from their real and wasteful activities such as building domes, houses on flood plains (we do have a huge amount of high ground and slopes though these are unpopular with the government developer supporters in the city), gambling casinos to earn more tax, flood barriers which are too short and too far away, nuclear submarines (To fire at anyone who can not fire any back?). The list of stupidities is almost endless as are the greatest stupity, the WARS we pick to show how powerful we are. WARS which burn our hard earned wages, waste our childrens lives and only bring misery to ALL, except the proud politician crowing "Look at me I am the greatest waster of them all! Just for once let us be a Sweden or a Switzerland and ENJOY life and FRIENDS.
