I had a pretty remarkable experience this morning.

[The_Commonist]

33. Actually, I don't drive...

...and haven't in 25 years now. I walk (a lot) or take the subway.
I ONLY use tap water, no bottled water. Ever.
I can't afford to throw away perfectly good food, and know my way around the kitchen, so that's not really a problem around here.

But yes, I use natural gas to keep my apartment heated to 65 in the winter. And I use AC to cool it to 78 in the summer. Luckily, this summer, that hasn't been much of an issue. And yes, I do wear clothing and use other items made by slave labor. Like this old Macbook I'm typing this on.

Because I'm a hypocrite. I know that full well, and can easily admit it. I'm a few other things as well, like a curmudgeon, and a party-pooper. It's not holier-than-thou douchebaggery. It's we're all in this together douchebaggery.

C'mon, Will, you wrote the frikkin' book about the lies of the warmongers, and then you gleefully patronize their retail arm? Maybe you didn't know who owns Dunkin' Brands? You can come out and say that if you didn't know, but I think you did, or you would've said so. Frankly, I think I struck a nerve here, based on your reaction. I was expecting a "yeah, I"m no angel," and got called an ass instead. That's fine, I'm just a collection of electrons somewhere on the internet.

See, this is the flip-side of that "pretty remarkable experience" you had. For every positive, there's a corresponding negative. Make the most of it, friend... and have a Happy Sunday!
