this ad made me angry!
equating dedication to environmental protection policies in opposing offshore drilling with supporting rising gas prices and increased dependence on foreign oil is ridiculous. this is super manipulative. and people who don’t think critically about this stuff just gobble it up like crazy.
because oil is a nonrenewable resource, why would we continue to find new places to drill and call that an energy solution? in light of what we know, we should be preserving our environmental protection policies and investing in new sources of energy. there would be no use to approving offshore drilling, only to face this problem again in a number of years when that resource is exhausted. opposition to offshore drilling does NOT mean that the candidate supports more dependent on foreign oil. let’s think OUTSIDE the limited thinking of energy = oil! typical short sightedness – temporary solutions and consumer-minded approach to the earth. grr!
on a personal, non-political note, i believe that as Kingdom-dwellers it is our responsibility to be long-term, or eternally minded in our thinking. it is our joy to be connected to the earth, and rejoice in the place in nature that GOD has given us but to always be reverent in our approach to the resources HE provides for us through nature. this means discarding our consumerist ideas that are strongly part of us as humans and as americans, and adopting a mindset of a humble caretaker of HIS creation.
much, much less seriously, the reason for this post is that i am proud of paris hilton.
