The plank in my eye.

You know, I've always despised "tree huggers" and oil protesters because they are often just as corrupt in the sense they're looking after their own needs. This to me is hypocritical since they attempt to vilify others and yet themselves aren't looking to solve problems only get back at others. But, for those of us in the middle. This blog is for you. I've spent over two hours tonight alone researching and yes, watching planet green with Tom Brokaw(not a big fan). But I'm so tired of hearing about the problems. There are so many good ideas out there. If we quit wasting our time tearing others down and focusing our efforts on improving our society. I believe we'd be better off. I see so much potential in converting our streets to have public transportation and public communication. Enacting this would create Jobs. I listened to a guy who is creating solar cell plastics that can be put on roof tops that would cost 10cents a watt (or something to that effect). The answer is not regulation. The answer is accountability. We've lost this art. Nobody likes to be told what to do, yet we constantly look for leadership. Irony at its best. Regulation says I will force you to meet standards. Accountability says I will inspire you to meet standards. To sum up, I'm ranting because I care so much about helping the environment that I'm inspired to do my part. I wish others would do theirs. But stop pointing fingers. Where you're passionate about something, when you see a need. Go meet it. Stop criticizing others! Maybe I'll run for mayor somewhere.
