Yes they are all over the place. My post was more about the arrogance of such a high carbon footprint. It is destryoying the planet, affecting everyone one of us directly. That was the point of my post, but some people on FFL seem completely oblivious to environmental issues. That is the reason I used to think Kaplan was an asshole flying around in a private jet not because it is fancy, but because of the pollution and noise pollution. I think people who do that needlessly are ignorant and that ignorance stems from arrogance. I have thought this for 40 years and I will think this until I die, no matter how rich I get. OffWorld
