Actually DM, i used the prhase to mallory to "put up or shut up" on her response to ned...she condemned him for his post but offered no solution of her own.....

Hi

Yes sometimes it is, if one really has little if anything to say. Composition has always been graded/judged by content and substance. I cannot find in any posts where you ever indicated such content. True to ones word I suppose. What holds up the human condition's in spite of it's frailty is the knowledge that we do care. Self worth isn't found in a can, or a box of clothes. You asked, I replied,... you didn't...... whether you trusted that or not. Makes the whole thing sort of pointless after all. But to say you did,........  great, we found purpose then. My self worth only matters in the reflection in my children and those looking to improve the world for others. But you indicated you did the same or such, so our humanitarian gears mesh. Good. As for the self-righteous drum beat..........you asked. I didn't challenge your accomplishments and wouldn't, you don't tell nor would I have, had one not bid me to oblige. My personal loss was mentioned and far from singled out against anyone else. It mattered to my family and my own spirit that I should remain humanly generous in spite of it. That hardly signifies such a self-righteous mentality.

 I didn't say YOU said to shut up, but that was when the issues got twined into something outside the original points she/Mallory made, so it did occur. Sorry if it seemed to lampoon you directly. Again Daryl, I still have not bought into the "myth." I trust the science of depletion, and potential  of more radical cycle changes that might actually affect our ability to inhabit our world. I know......if it happens it happens. I just think we, here and now, have a responsibility to future generations to try and do better with our environment and dissapearing resources. If there is even a chance it can and does affect weather changes, then why is it laughable? We recycle anything we can, burn corn for suplimental heat, drive a gas-miserly mini, use super efficient bulbs and battery operated motion LEDs, and set the thermostat to 62. I'm gonna guess you do to the same if not more. That's what all this was about in the first place I don't mean to offend others when I have made references to the Lord, it seems to at times..... and I cannot understand that. So by all means jump in there and make a difference, if singing helps....................................

So explain to me again how it is that if you don't buy into the "myth", that you burn coal smoke producing corn for heat, drive an unsafe tin-can mini to save gas,  recycle even though much of it goes directly into landfills, use mercury laden energy saving bulbs, and shiver in your own home at 62 degrees.  All this in the name of "depletion".
