There Big oil rules and people get sick, where big Pharma picks up, forever creating the almighty dollar for the coffers. Human health means nothing to these world CEO's and greed prevails. The top 1% hold 50% of the worlds wealth. ever wondered how that happened? and it usually aint being like Mother Teresa. The worlderness suffers and so will the inhabitants. Its unfortunately the way we are, well not all of us though. The US is no further behind China in living in its own toxic dumpland.

The Bush administration is definitely getting an exit message from a lot of different angles at the moment! 3 or 4 States out of 52 recognising carbon dioxide emissions as a pollutant to regulate is a beginning, but probably not enough to get Federal Administration to take notice.
