Great commentary! This reminds me of an old saying about the Vietnam War: "We had to destroy the village in order to save it." (Or I could have chosen the opening scene of Team America...) The do-gooders want to elevate our standard of living by lowering it, enhance our freedom by micromanaging our choices for us. Apparently, the road to hell and federal buildings in San Francisco are both paved with good intentions. Good work, Mike!!

Jonathan, while you seem eager to chalk this up to the "animosity" of hateful conservatives, it's not really my Christianity that was roused by this story--just my common sense.
Someday I'll have to meet you in person. I asked a question that was logical and made no mention of "hateful conservatives" (which is the circle I grew up in btw). I seriously wonder, why some conservative Christians carry so much animosity towards environmentalism.
And by the way, I agree that this "green" building is insane.

It goes quickly from personal responsibility to steward resources to the Government wanting to tax the crap out of us and limit our freedoms. That's the nutshell from my limited understanding.
