Hi Laurie; you should watch the video. It's a satiric "commercial" (directed by the Coen brothers - the guys who did the movies No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, and other goodies) that is squarely behind what you're saying. Check out this previous post, too - http://www.buildinggreen.com/live/index.cfm/2008/1...
