Not in MY Backyard...
It seems that the environmentalists are all for alternative energy, et.al., as long as it isn't in their backyard!
The latest is the issue off the coast of Cape Cod where one group wants to put a bank of wind powered generators (windmills), and the other group are the rich elites that live on the coast. Apparently, the elites are claiming that their coastline is a "national jewel", and shouldn't be spoiled by putting the generators in. Before we rush to judgment however, the windmills will be so far off shore that they will appear from shore as 1/2" high dark spots, according to the developer. Not a real eye-sore in my book.
These environmentalists are kind of like Rosie O'Donnell, who says that nobody should have guns except the police and military....oh, and HER body guards. Or like PETA, that claims no one should euthanize dogs and cats because they have a right to live....oh, unless you are PETA, and you don't have the money to keep them. Then it's OK.
You get the idea.
