Does that also include the vitriol, hatred and anger from all of the environmental extremists( I toned it down for you) that mock people that disagree with them and call them deniers? Do they just get a pass in your book? I am angry because in this instance if you don't make a stand the powers that be will try and steamroll right over you. The first step in becoming a doormat is to lay down and let everybody walk all over you. That is something I will never do. I am sorry if that bothers you but sadly I am not as eloquent in my verbiage as most folks on this forum are. I may not speak as well as most but I speak from my heart. Maybe someday I will become more diplomatic in my tone.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 8:08 am Hey cradle, I do now understand the irony you were suggesting.
If accurate, it would indeed be an example where good intentions backfired and are being reversed.
However it seems, from your rhetoric, that you don't actually understand the current policy correction.
At least that's how I read your first post, and you keep doubling down.
The 5 cents is intended to encourage people to do what you now say your wife did many ears ago.
Don't pay the 5 cents.
Holmes asks a direct question though.
But you say what you say with such anger and vitriol that it's difficult to consider your arguments as reasonable. Cool off the insults and name calling and make your points without ranting. That'll help.
I will start when the extremists begin to recognize I have a right to disagree with them and respect that not everyone views this issue the same as they do. Does that work for you? I will try and dial it back, but I make no promises. BTW the 5 cents personally does not bother me in theory. What bothers me is that NYS institutes the change in such a manner that it makes them money. If you have been paying attention that is a theme I repeat frequently. It is less about saving the planet and more about using the issue to make money. I seem to be one of the few people here that seems to be of that opinion.
