Then we start working on batteries for cars, then its all bad and wrong because those darn nasty batteries will pollute the soil or something. If we were still in horse drawn buggies we'd be animal abusers. If we walked every place we wanted to go we'd still be *******s because we'd be walking on grass or disturbing dirts right to be dirt. Basically we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.
You can't please an environmentalist. If everything was pristine, they'd have no reason to exist thus they will always create some wild scheme just to justify their existence as a group. And gullible Americans will bite it hook, line, and sinker.

I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of speculators ruining every market they touch-- dot coms, housing, oil, corn, etc. This is one "free market" we can do without.

All of the "get rich quick" traders are ruining the market. Instead of investing in the future it's all about making enough ASAP to buy that boat or BMW.
