Yes Skybird, that sort of compulsory indoctrination is terrible. It's also a permanent feature of human society. Now, would you rather have compulsory sustainability, or compulsory environmental destruction? In the social sense, those are (exaggerated versions of) the choices.
I've never been a big fan of my society - it breeds narrow minded, greedy ignorami, mostly. I don't know of any group or movement or philosophy that I could ever belong to or identify with. I'm not waiting for society to get "better". I just want it to avoid self destruction, and destroying all the other cool life on Earth.
If we solve the MANY environmental crises, (Global warming is just one of them. Habitat destruction is nearly as dangerous. There are others...) then we'll have eternity to work on equality, social justice, and all that. If we don't, then it won't matter for long whether women can drive cars in Yemen, or one country massacres another, or who rules the world, or who wins European Idol.
True about the Austrians, though.
Lol, joke.
