Half the Optimism, Twice the Cynicism, Guaranteed Image or Double Your Garbage Back

That is the extended version of my life motto. Consider the following:

Half the Optimism:
(RED) Is it charity? Is it business? Is it blog fodder? Yes it makes money, yes it sucks than it has to leech off something as bad as Gap, and yes there is most likely a guy at (RED) paying himself a $500K salary out of it.

Twice the Cynicism:
Follow the money for carbon offsets and you will see that Al Gore's carbon-neutral lifestyle means he has invested at least $3MM in a hedgefund whose only restriction is that sustainability informs their investment decisions. Screw it people, just invest with Satan.

Guaranteed Image or Double Your Garbage Back:
Substitute "service" for "image" and that is the sign I see everyday on the way to work at "Al's Roll-offs." Al drives a garbage truck. And probably not a Prius. However, considering the total resource consumed per mile over the lifetime of a vehicle, if he put bio-diesel in his truck, it would probably be a push.

True to form, "I can endure my own despair, but not another's hope." William Walsh.

Also, this entire post is essentially copied from others' posts. However, plagiarism is the highest form of laziness--so naturally I am right there.
