Get Your Carbon Offsets!

Click the title of this post and you will be taken to a website where, for only $19.95, you can actually purchase the right to emit carbon because the person you buy it from will promise not to emit carbon IN THE EXACT AMOUNT YOU WANT TO USE! Isn't technology amazing? This came to my attention when I heard that some right wing radio commenter had made fun of Al Gore for flying around in private jets while brow-beating you and me for driving cars. Gore's spokeman apparently responded that Gore buys these "offset" things, so it's okay.

By the way, if you're feeling guilty about, say, committing murder, robbing the local gas station, cheating on your spouse, etc etc., FOR ONLY $19.95 -- sent to me via PayPal -- I will offset your sins by NOT murdering anyone, robbing a gas station or cheating on your spouse! Think of the freedom, ladies and gentleman! And, in the Spirit of Good Capitalist Competition, for just $17.95, I too will refrain from emitting more carbons than normal -- IN THE EXACT AMOUNT THAT YOU EMIT THEM! And, since this is the Internets, there's NO TAX! Hurry!
