Yeah well that's what your homies in the corporate boardrooms have done for us.

Agree though that if China and India don't get on board we're done for.

Easy to put pressure on them if we are leading the way.

That's 97% of scientists that wrote about human caused global warming, not 97% of all scientists.

Huh????

And that pressure would be economic shunning.

To do so however we would have to

A) - let loose of our dependence on collecting crap we really don't need

B) - re-build our manufacturing base

C) - decide if we want a strong middle class or two class plutocracy...which is pretty much what we have now..

Kucinich? I like Dr Kaku but when it comes to politics he's a bit nutty. There's Dr Kaczynski too. Or perhaps I should go with LaRouche.

But my choices are a single popular professor or a single popular talk show host. I MUST believe what I'm told.

In other words you're going to side with the fat junior college dropout.

You can run, but you can't hide.

Your side is the stupid side.
