Why do you feel just because you do not have something that everybody should not have it or make do without it?

Sorry if I'm blunt, but it sounds a little childish and resentful to me.

I don't have dimmers and I have CFLs on every light source in my house. But that's MY choice. What right do you have in knocking someone else's choices? It's their lives, it's their money, and it’s their choices.

All this "you have to chose what we want" or "we'll regulate you into what we want you to do" is my main problem with extreme leftist and rightist. Leftist because they force us to social programs by taxes and regulations to fit their agendas. Rightists by their constant pushing of religious agendas. What ever happen to respecting individual freedoms and choices?

If you want to increase electrical efficiency; take a page out of the oil price hikes, when oil shot up, people that were using ultra-large vehicles for frivolous uses have started trading down in vehicles, with many picking up hybrids. The people that have uses for the large vehicles stuck to them. The hybrids grew into popularity not by regulations but by economics (higher oil prices) and individual choices. The same should happen with electrical efficiency.

Stop with the forcing tight-fitting regulations down people’s throats already!

Mostly agree, but I know many who call themselves right-winged, and have no desire to force religion on anyone. Aren't libertarians considered far right-winged? (ie believe government's function is to stop the coercion of individuals by other individuals or governments, define property rights and do little else.)
