Reply #8: A little late for outrage [View All]

[izquierdista]

In the 1950s, people who cautioned against replacing the railroads with interstate highways were ignored.
In the 1960s, people who said we shouldn't let city centers decay were laughed at.
In the 1970s, a President who wore a sweater and said to turn down the thermostat was ridiculed.
In the 1980s, when domestic oil production was declining, no one would fund alternative fuels, for it wouldn't cut taxes.
In the 1990s, transportation technology was passe, and the superhighway to build was the one for information.
In the 2000s, when there are no railroads, and the people live far out in the suburbs, and people don't conserve, but still use more energy than they can produce locally, they are outraged that they are S-O-L? How can they be outraged when they did it to themselves?
