We didn't have the "green thing" back in our day, but our toilets worked more often on 1 flush back then than the multiple flushes needed now on "eco-freindly" low-flow toilets of today.
And we pumped oil out of our ground, refined it and used it...we didn't need Saudi Arabia or any other crazy-assed Muslim nation...where the "green thing" has done nothing but hamper our domestic energy production and gave us the wonderful idea of "ethonol" a process that wastes so-called "precious ground water" at a ratio of 10:1 or worse, but hey it says "green" and it is subsidized, so funtastic, eh?
