Just saw a TV commercial promoting a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions, to cool the climate and heat up the economy.
That was followed by a Burger King commercial promoting eating cows.
Ain’t capitalism great? The juxtaposition of addressing a really serious, I mean, really, really, really serious problem threatening the entire world and life as we know it… along side a couple of guys relaxing and eating cow.
Isn’t it amazing that we would put two subjects such as these on the same footing? And, that we require that solving serious problems must compete for our attention just like a hamburger.
I’m sure that the designers and producers of the environmentally positive promotion are glad to be able to get air time and might prefer a different medium. But, they need to do what they can, and it’s worth trying.
Hell of a world we’ve got here!
