Re: Christchurch Fossil Fools Day - 5days to go!!!

so i'm an evil agent of oil companies am I for suggesting your propaganda is off-putting to most people? Haha ho ho. Aw gosh, I loathe this simplistic activist black and white 'your'e either against us or with us' mentality.

I am simply suggesting that you if don't imply everyone who drives a car is a 'fool', and don't suggest unrealistic utopian purist solutions like 'leaving all the fossil fuels in the ground' you would get more support. But then I suspect you probably don't want to get support from working class people (who of necessity drive cars), but just want support from purist hippies, middle-class liberals and greens.

I like the emphasis in the post that its the fools at the head of the oil companies, supported by the govt, who are the real problem. And the link between oil and war. So i'm not unsupportive of 'the cause'. But i reckon its the system and not individuals who are to blame -- even if you got rid of the current head honchos new capitalists and politicians would replace them who would be just as bad.
