YOUR PRUNES HAVE A CARBON FOOTPRINT
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democrat Party candidate John Edwards, is starting to get all of her fruits and vegetables locally. Why? Because apparently these fruits and vegetables have a carbon footprint. Yup ... when you transport fruit you have to burn fossil fuels .. and that means your next apple is actually causing (gasp!) global warming! The lovely Elizabeth says "I live in North Carolina. I'll probably never eat a tangerine again."
These global warming nut-case cultists want to run our country! They want to charge you extra for your fruits and vegetables because of their carbon footprint! Problem is, we have just enough idiot voters out there to put them in office!
<hr /></blockquote> Tell me the Edwards are not a couple nutjobs. They will not eat tangerines or other fruit that is shipped to their local grocer, however, they will travel on personal or chartered jets around the world.
My reason for pointing this out has nothing to do with party politics, or global warming but the actual person as an individual. If Edwards (in this example his wife) cannot eat a tangerine because there is carbon released to the atmosphere during transportation, why is it OK to jet around the country while on the campaign tour?
If you really want to get so trivial as looking at the fruit that you are buying, then why not "telecommute" to the debate and to all the fund raising dinners?
