Crackup
When you quoted 'a fool and his money are soon parted', after I had spoken of the transfer of wealth from households being charged more so big business could profit, it appeared as though you were supporting big business and the transfer of wealth from households, to support their increased polluting. It appeared as though households had a choice about their increased electricity bills, and were taking the unwise option, allowing them to increase. As if they had an option in the first place.
Just needed to check you on that one. Not seeking a nonsensical apology for a misunderstanding, just stating the existence of same misunderstanding as an explanation.
Govt does not listen to the general public, so that's why I think they will continue to clutch at straws to appear to be doing something about climate changing. The Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme is like the 'plant a tree to make up for flying around the world' scheme: It has been humourously likened to the 'hire someone to give your girlfriend flowers, to make up for cheating on her'. No matter how many trees planted, the environment still suffers. Buying flowers does not negate the cheating having occurred.
I honestly can't see how we can stop these people from implementing a scheme which allows them to grow more wealthy from every angle.
