GF, it is amazing when they don't even see the contradiction. I remember about ten years ago there was a proposed landfill in the general area. All our neighbors were up in arms (even though it was several miles away) and they started a petition. When they came to my door I asked them if they recycle 100% of their trash. They said they didn't recycle at all. I then very nicely asked them where there trash went. They said to the landfill. And then I said so what you're saying is its OK for you to send your trash to a landfill in someone else's neighborhood but not to one near ours. Needless to say I didn't sign the petition and they slunk away in shame. Its not that they didn't mean well, they just didn't think it through properly and recognized the obvious hypocrisy of their opposition to the landfill.

Now if they came to me and provided some relevant technical reasons why the landfill site was inappropriate for that use then I would have listened. But that never seems to be the case.....
