      Okay, here’s a thought exercise for you.

      Assume there are pictures of you in your everyday life and leisure pursuits that survive for 150 years.

      What are you doing today that activists will skewer your descendants with if they find those pictures in 150 years?

      Serious question.  What do you think will be judged differently by then?

      I hope they don’t have a shot of hooking my drive on #5 at GGP. An anomaly but a consistent one.

      Golfing is actually a pretty good example.

        Football is a 10 year question, not a 150 year one.

      Just received the email from the Athletic Department eliminating 11 more sports, so perhaps all sports in 150 years.

      Volume of electricity use without a care in the world.  I have solar panels on my RV where I reside since the camp fire.  Self sufficiency and sustainability may become a mandate soon enough.

      Eating meat.  I am an avid carnivore, but the future becomes more vegan every day.

      Mine:

      Using items made in China by CCP slave labor (that picture of you with an iphone?  makes you complicit).

      Hunting of any kind.

      Fluffy toilet paper

      Disposable plastics

      Sugary drinks

      Having more than two kids

      Actually driving a car (without automatic driving, it will look as irresponsible as diving off a cliff to people in the future)

      Stacks of paper in my office

      Pollution of water supplies with pharmaceutical chemicals

      Any use of natural animal products (leather, animal fats, etc.)

      Over-using antibiotics
