You can't mock the notion that one's actions have meaningfull impact on the environment, and then go on to criticise people for not voting.

Are you parodying yourself?<BR/><BR/>Your basic assumption is that statstical marginality saves one from personal responsibility. This is one that I do not share.

Both do not preach to others to stop flying, or wear proudly 'I don't fly' stickers. They made a personal decision to stop flying, based on their minkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494109557449444993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893461.post-32319065389951114492008-08-05T14:42:00.000+01:002008-08-05T14:42:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Simon J.
