In case you're having a late lunch

I really have to recommend this post by Amanda Marcotte. It's about arguments over environmentalism, feminist men, and all sors of things, but at root it's about how we balance short-term versus long-term benefits, and how we can convince some folks to give up the (clearly visible) former in favor of the (distinctly more abstract) latter. Good stuff, and in the comments too. Long, but worth a lunchtime read...
