Whether an industry kills or harms people, animals, the ecology, is not the issue.
Our comparison aims to show that just because an activity or business creates jobs does not mean it's 'good for' whatever.
When the plastic bottle and can makers won out over the glass container folk they cited all kinds of new jobs and though fuel costs did go down, sizes and consumption went up so now the fuel cost card is moot and we are left with tons more 'throw away' items, litter, compromised taste, and jobs, too!
Remember picking up two cent bottles and cashing them in?
That was a first job for many of us.
And our flip flop on the "Kudos to TV" for the single stream recycling?
We just flopped - seems the recycling is just for what residents separate into large clear bags - not what goes into the 40 gallon cans at the mail stations- while it would be a simple no-brainer to place a paper-only receptacle there, it's not the case.
Lastly, as far as TH's reaction to our reference to voting and freedom, you are correct and we agree that the right to campaign and vote are most necessary, and we have traveled throughout the mid Atlantic to spread those messages to voters and potential voters who might otherwise miss out, but we prefer means that are less impactful to our respectful environment.
