Governments sure do get some weird ideas when it comes to going green. My provincial government, until recently about as interested in the environment as Brian Mulroney is interested in Ethics, has just imposed a new tax on our fuel purchases meant to get us thinking about cutting down our polluting. We are already paying about $5 for a gallon of the cheap stuff and we are still driving around like we did in 1970 so I do not see how a few pennies more is get any one to thinking they are going to save a motherfucking whale by riding the bus.
Weird how government works: Drugs were not causing any big problems when governments decided to make them a problem by outlawing them. The motherfuckers went in for the kill and failed miserably. Now we, or our near descendants, are all about to die from global warming and instead of going in for the kill (i.e. outlawing gas pig cars like mine) they put a wee little tax on our gas purchases.
The government can fuck off and die.
