Air travel... fancy homes... big cars... Ain't that America?

I just have to laugh at the 'green' mass consumers.

Laugh because even I have it better than 90% of the world while in the bottom 20% of America. And while I don't fly, or have fancy this and that, I still need two planets to keep me comfortable. Life is good, but how long can it last? And what is the payback?

For 10,000 years humans lived on this planet and left it pretty much the same as when they were born. The last 100 years the planet has been changed. It just isn't the same. But life has never been better for a poor boy like me. Heck, I live better than most of the 1% did 150 years ago.
