Perhaps it's just me, but does it seem strange to anyone else that at a time when our whole world is concerned about oil prices as well as availability of oil as fuel, that it seems out of place for people to still be able to do such free and entertaining, yet extremely wasteful playtime events such as Auto Racing, Motorcycle Racing, Boat Racing, Airplane Racing, etc.? It seems like someone should have put a moratorium on such events until things level out a bit, or at least offer incentives for people to NOT hold such events. And don't get me started on the whole exhaust fumes and the Ozone layer or Green House Effects but it really seems like a no-brainer to me.
Every time I watch a movie that has something being blown to pieces it just breaks my heart. I can't help but think that for the price of entertaining we silly human beings, we are destroying our entire globe. I just don't get it. So much of life is perspective and it seems like common sense to me that if the exhaust from cars can warm the planet to a dangerous level (along with many other reasons of course), then why on earth (pun intended) isn't there some law that just says we can use our personal cars as we need but sporting events need to be curtailed until the earth cools down a bit.
I know, I know... Money! It always comes down to money! But these days it isn't just the money, our globe and the lives of our children and grand children are at stake. I hope someone can explain this to me, but I doubt there is a good explanation. And just for the record - I love these sports!!!
