WeCanDoIt.Org...WTF?

[Don Corleone]

So I understand William H. Macy narrating commercials. And I understand Hollywood icons getting up on television and sanctimoniously telling all of us peasants to shrink our carbon footprint.

But these new ads are really that... new. Pat Roberston kvitching with Al Sharpton? Newt Gingrich chiming in with Nancy Pelosi.

Now, this may surprise some Orgah regulars, but I actually am somewhat green. It's not a feel good thing for me, and I don't view man as a pox upon the land (I actually had a friend at University who described humans as the only unnatural organisim on the planet... how can that be?)

But I hunt, I fish, I hike and I camp. I was an Eagle Scout, and while I can't stand the ubiquitous 'green' label, or even beter 'eco-warrior' or 'defender of the earth', I'll use the old school label and call myself a conservationist. And anything that gets us to quit giving money to Chavez, Ahmadinejad and the Sauds is okay in my book.

But I'm also well aware that frequently these 'feel good' initiatives do nothing but inconvenience you. And if people were really serious about ending greenhouse gasses, we'd be building nuclear power plants like there was no tomorrow.

And I thought that this past winter wiped out the climate rise of the past century in one season. Yet, Newt, while sketchy and slimy, is a very intelligent guy. Either they have photos of him in drag, they waved a huge pile of cash at him to lie, or there might actually be something to it here.

So what do you guys think about WeCanDoIt.Org....
