Just playing devil's advocate, there is a difference between a *general* policy and an *individual* policy. That is, most people on this list could technically afford to buy a Ferrari F430 Spider, but then they couldn't do much else. So despite the fact that I might drive a Ferrari F430 Spider, that wouldn't make me a hypocrite for advocating a policy that says you shouldn't buy one until you can truly afford it. To complete the point, while Gore may use a lot of electricity he may also be able to afford to offset it with spend elsewhere. So, while he may advise that you conserve, it could be because he knows it's likely you can't afford to both use power *and* offset it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
