Recently, I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for Michael J. Fox. I had always admired him as an actor, but only now do I fully appreciate him as an actual human being

i dont wanna argue with u and i respect ur point of view, but u have to realize that protecting the environment is an important issue.
There really isn't much of an argument here cause I agree with you. The environment in which we live in and its maintanance is a very important issue, and I wish the Bush administration would do more in its power to make it so. Unfortunately, I have yet to encounter someone so strong about this issue in my daily life that doesn't either drive a gas-guzzling SUV or smoke. Tobacco smoke doesn't just hurt the people around you, it tears holes in the O-Zone and releases carcinogens and toxins into the air we breath. If those aren't big environmental issues, I don't know what are. I'm guilty of this myself because I occasionally smoke a cigar.
I think its great when people devote their hearts and time to an issue, but at the same time, I wish it was done so more in practice rather than in theory. It seems that when it comes to making life inconvenient or depriving them of some sort of joy, people's ideals fall by the wayside, and that's sad to me.
yeah but if u look at the major causes that are destroying the ozone tobacco smoke isnt one of them, plus i think the actual tobacco isnt doing it, its all the shit that the cigarette companies put into the tobacco to make it even more addictive.
either way tho people should think more about their driving and smoking habbits, including myself. but maybe bush should fucking join the kyoto protocol and limit our release of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. but no he thinks it would hurt our economy too much.
Yeah that would definately have helped.....but it would take a LONG LONG TIME. Clinton should have submitted it for ratification back in the late 90's, when the economy was still pretty good, but he too, like Bush, stated that it would be bad for the economy. Al Gore endorsed it, but never submitted it for ratification. I wonder why Australia hasn't joined yet either.
Considering the state of the economy now, maybe it wouldn't be a great idea to force all companies to come up with expensive methods to reduce emmissions. somehow I think even MORE people would be loosing jobs. I'm sure if Hillary Clinton becomes president, or any other Democrat for that matter, it'll be passed like that.
