You think I really care? I'll always wear my helmet. It has saved my 
life before and did a pretty damn good job. 

Regarding whether being an environemtalist or not, I think these days 
you try to do as much as possible to be environmental friendly. However,
nobody is perfect. How come we don't stop using our car to reduce the CO2
emission? The CO2 concentration's increasing every year in the atmosphere,
everyone is concerned, but we are not doing much about it are we?

OK. that's getting away from the topic, gonna start another pointless debate.. ;-)
