Doug Henwood sniped:
Are you proud of your ignorance? The numbers are based on surveys of thousands of people which are compared with data from other sources as a check on consistency. Your assertions are based on things you pull out of the air, or some other less seemly place. You may live like a hippie on $8,000 a year, but most Americans don't.
Hardly hippie, whatever that means to you... Simple-liver, Hard worker, This life is dedicated to Edward Abbey... I dunno... But my lifestyle still puts me at 0.2 above what is allocated to me by my "global footprint" FWIW. BTW, it's: "...but most Americans don't." *now*.... and then "sh-- happens". The rest of America can squander what I don't use and believe their hybrid cars will save them. It's OK. Really. I can't help them with that... It's a terrible terrible addiction. Consumerism. Now that I'm done with the lifestyles' portion of the program. Regarding ignorance... It's relative. I mean... you can't see the questions I am asking buried in my exclamations and mistakes... Personally, I think *that's* ignorant, and thanks for broaching the subject to allow me to state that. I think others who read here do fathom at least *some* of what I am saying, but I don't expect anyone to neccesarily 'waste their time' responding to statements like:
The people who calculated this figure live in another universe. FedWorld, where the numbers are real, and the people represented by those numbers aren't.
...unless they can shed some light. Many many people all over America belive this. Would you dismiss them all as ignorant? http://snipurl.com/Peace_out
