(26,619 posts)Or, maybe, just maybe, there are forces at work not "selling us out." Let's watch the president go full blast into the environmental mess and demand the funds and support to clean up the planet, or just part of America, and see how long he lasts. 50% of Americans don't exercise their right to vote, but, really, 50% of Americans are kind of stupid. Almost half of Americans don't believe in evolution! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/05/americans-believe-in-creationism_n_1571127.html Now, I'm not knocking anyone's religion, but really?
We have a lot more problems than the ocean coming because this really is not such "a good country." People are sliding into stupidity, fear, and hate at an alarming rate and they're armed.
I do love your post, I'm just not so quick to call out the president as a "sell out." He's president of all the people, and a huge number of Americans are non believers.. in any science at all!
