Yes, it's probably just the beginning of the problem. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with being pro-environment or wanting a |
| 15 |
lower energy bill, but if someone believes in it strongly enough, they should |
| 16 |
change their own lifestyle rather than force others (utilities) to suffer while |
| 17 |
they watch their big screen TV 8 hours/day and keep their air conditioning on |
| 18 |
high even when they're away from home. For example, if you support anti-SUV |
| 19 |
(sport utility vehicle) legislation, I hope that you do *not* own an SUV! |
| 20 |
It's important to at least *try* to not be a hypocrite. |

For the sake of a cause, people seem very willing to put restrictions on others |
| 23 |
but not very willing to put restrictions on their own behavior. Apparently, to |
| 24 |
some people, personal responsibility and accountability is a foreign concept. |
