Friday I rode my electric to the critical mass ride. I got there about 15 minutes before the ride started. Within a minute of parking a cop on a Segway rode up and ask if my bike had a motor, like that would be a bad thing of something. I said, yes, it's a electric bicycle. As soon as he heard the words, electric bicycle, his attitude changed,.
PRECISELY!!!!!!!!!!!!! - as per my previous post about
"Gas motors = bad" above.
...............
just poor critical thinking skills combined with cultural indoctrination (i.e. Modern American Culture).
throw out Pragmatism with the bathwater.............
I mean really, when was the last time America equated Conservation with being Green? (not Obama! - to him and modern American "Tech" = green)
since Carter and his "just wear sweaters" speech.
and you know what? - Conservation is not "sexy" nor "slick" or even "cool" -----------not even "tech".
instead it is "old skool", "boring", "humble",.........................and Patriotic.
AND CONSERVATION IS BEING GREEN - Even if Carter was the LAST President to say so.
----and gas powered MB (goped in my case) are as Green as their electric brethren (if you take the Electric Plant pollution in recharging battery/etc.....)

good post BTW - I thank you for it.
