A colleague just passed me this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/opinion/27havel.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin[^] I thought that it was one of the best essays I've ever read on the subject. I (personally) think that programmers have a special responsibility as we're smart (right?) and we tend to be relatively wealthy (I said "relatively!")
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
I was driving through town a few days ago following a not too old Toyota. It had badly damaged piston rings and oily smoke was spewing out of the back of it. It stank, it clouded up the atmosphere all around the car when it was idling at the lights and streamed back behind it moving. It's obviously been smoking for a long time, it had smoke stains on the bumper. Climate change or not, I can't imagine people who would not feel some sort of guilt. Do what you want but don't harm others. PS: 5 for your sig. :)
Modo vincis, modo vinceris.

Nowadays, there's always some jerk that takes offense at something and feels he has a right to curtail your behavior because of his offense. Marc

Marc, I thought that was called democracy? .... "Hey! Don't rob that Granny!" .... "You're curtailing my freedoms, dude!" So you think that it's OK to run a vehicle that spews out hydrocarbons. It happens to be againt the law on most of the planet. Did you even read the original article?

Hey Phil, come to the Soapbox! There's a big party going on about Global Warming there. I mean, a party in the Soapbox style: everyone trolling and insulting each other.
Of all forms of sexual aberration, the most unnatural is abstinence.
Never tried it. I usually end up here from Insider. I'll check it out thanks! Re you sig: I once read a Darwin Award Honourable mention about a guy and a vaccum cleaner!:doh:

the media outlets are benevolent organizations with no other agenda than to inform humanity with the truth.

I completely disagree but this is soapbox material so my discussion ends at that.

John, If two people always agree with each other then at least one of them isn't thinking. Phil

I think you missed the point. I wasn't criticizing John for being upset at the guy's oil tailpipe, I was making a comment that nowadays it seems all you have to do is breath and someone gets offended. Marc
