If action is based on reason and truth then there is hope for the world. My question is, what percentage of the world's population does it take before serious progress is made toward conserving our resources and a harmonious existence on the planet? I thank you for your comments.

Your comment really brings home what Thomas Paine once wrote: "Our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer." That coupled with one from Winston Churchill: "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." What the both are saying is that you damn well better be informed on what and whom your voting because you'll have to live with the consequences for a least four years. Considering that anything will be said, and anything will be done, including free money, to save General Bullmoose (for those not familiar with Al Capps' Lil Abner comic strip he was the personification of big business) and to bring in the vote for the current party in the next election. It's really time to dump the tags we carry "Democrat" and "Republican" and really investigate what these people truly are. There is no "free" anything from government. Everything has a price and you pay it. For those who watched the "Xfiles", the main character, Fox Mulder, had a sign above his desk. "Trust No One". When it comes to politics that some of the best advice that can be offered. John:
