Shemp, Shemp, Shemp, You continue to write as if the corporate world is not dumping toxins anywhere they damned well please.
Could you just do me a favor and google "pollution" and see if you can read even five minutes before you puke. You seem -- SEEM -- to believe that the industrial revolution's pollution has been insignificant -- socially, environmentally, financially, psychologically, and spiritually. Am I right about that or am I getting a completely wrong take on you? Shemp, listen to me. Once, I drove in a car for over an hour in Indonesia along a "canal." Next to that canal, for an hour's drive remember, was every manner of cardboard-shack housing imaginable, and that canal was where they got their water, washed and dumped their filth. Toddlers playing in muck, old women over tiny fires with rusted pots, and blight in all directions. The smell alone would knock you to your knees, Shemp. I don't know how many people I passed that hour, but it was in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. All living in squalor of such hideousness that the entire Indonesian government should be hung for crimes against humanity. Hung without due process, without a trial -- this village of the damned was prima facie evidence that would have any jury making up their minds and voting for the death penalty while walking to the juryroom. That, Shemp, is the true face of the industrial revolution, and it's been going on without end since it started. It's not just about airborne soot from China, it's about the human misery we're all turning a blind eye towards. Shemp, Shemp, Shemp, what don't you understand about black lung disease, sweat shops, migrant labor, apartheid, Darfur cleansings, World War II Japanese internment camps in California, fixed elections, gerrymandering, elitism, fascism, Big Brother, and the Dresden Firebombing? The fact that global warming may or may not be connected to this pollution is not the issue -- it is merely a cause célèbre, a calling to arms, a rallying flag for the Greens who see pollution and globalism and human rights as the core issues -- not saving water front properties in Florida from the ocean rising 20 feet due to, you know, all of Antarctica melting. Shemp, you seem to be on the side of the bad guys. Say it ain't so.
