The “Green Police”: They Really Do Live Inside Your Head

Audi’s Super Bowl commercial on the “green police” shows cops storming homes because they find batteries in the garbage and arresting homeowners because they have incandescent light bulbs installed.

It’s humorous, but unfortunately, a lot of people think this kind of thing is real.

It’s also strange that people who don’t mind trading ancient liberties such as Habeas Corpus to fee safe against terrorists get so angry about the government setting energy standards for incandescent lamps.

The video below worries me a lot more than whether the government asks me to contribute to a better society through recycling, reducing pollution and saving energy.

But hey, that’s just me.
