Who has the friggin right to tell me what car I can drive and how much gas I can put in it? Furthermore – how much money would we spend enforcing a regulation like this?

Is your right to individual irresponsibility more important than the basic needs of our grandchildren?[/quote]
Yes – absolutely, it is. It is not only my right. It is everyone’s. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is unalienable.

Again – this is your opinion. What is “too much” ? Who is to say? Certainly not you. You don’t have the right to dictate how much is too much. Who are you, the King of America or something ?[/quote]
What is this nonsense that my opinion is “just an opinion” but that your opinion is an “unalienable right”. This is just libertarian bullcrap.
And you haven’t answered my question: Does my right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness give me the right to saddle your grandchildren with a monetary deficit?
If NOT, how come you have the right to saddle future generations with an energy deficit?
