The Pope Gets It
SYDNEY, Australia - Pope Benedict XVI said Thursday the world's natural resources were being squandered by "insatiable" consumption and urged people to care more for the environment.
I liked Pope Benedict a lot even before I knew he was an enviro-champion. The Pope is so best. Let's hear how he thinks we should counter "insatiable consumption". Seriously, I'd like to hear his point of view.
As for the people who think the Pope is an enviro-hypocrite because he flies around the world in a private plane & rides around in a gas hog (Popemobile), come on! Give the guy a break. He's the Pope!

Am I the only one who thinks this is rediculously hypocritical and ironic? This guy denounces "insatiable consumption" in the world, AS HE FLIES HIGH OVER THE HEADS OF CREATURES BIG AND SMALL FOR 20 HOURS IN HIS VERY OWN GIANT JUMBO JET BELCHING FILTH OUT ITS ENGINES! Its the funniest thing Ive read in a long long time.
