All our "elected" officials have a serious and immense responsibility for the planet.

If they all attempted to downsize the military, and to downsize the black opp programs (one of which contributes 15% of the damage being done and that is causing Climate Change,) they might lose out in terms of campaign contributions, but their kids and grandkids would inherit a more enjoyable planet.
