What a beautiful mess we've made.

Wow! This is how the other developing countries learn how to pollute the environment which you (the developed) have done long back.

It is interesting how some people point fingers at others to make their own plight seem more acceptable. That, is truly ignorant.

And if visionary and inventive people in our country hadn't developed ways to use our resources when they did, you that criticize with your sound bites would have been complaining about something else.

humans are curious creatures. happy to have the benefits and all too willing to avert their eyes from the costs, or blame them only upon those whose land houses them, as if in accepting the output, they are any less culpable. we're in "this" together, folks. if there's any shame, any blame, it is utterly shared by now. at some point, we really need to stop pointing fingers. nothing is going to be accomplished until then. so the real question is -- who is the better human? and do we or do we not really want to be better humans?

Ah such a beautiful sight. It's the muscular look of freedom, Hitler and Tojo being ground down and thoroughly defeated.
