I was always pleasant, friendly and within arm's reach of a gun.
If government is the answer, it must have been a really, really, really stupid question.

An interesting way to separate sensible people from the true believes is to ask people whether they're willing to allow people pursue ALL avenues of fueling the modern world, both conventional AND alternative. The sensible person will be happy to have any viable alternative be explored. The true believer will try to tell you that only his preferred methods should be allowed, other methods should be prohibited by legislative fiat.Take it a step further and ask 'em if they're willing to let the oil-supporters fund oil development and let the wind/sun/whatever supporters fund wind/sun/whatever energy development. Allow Exxon and T Boone to both offer their wares for sale, and let consumers and investors decide for themselves which they'd prefer to buy into. Enviro nuts always howl at that one.
