Onstage with former President Clinton in Manhattan the prime minister said that he realized that "No nation will allow unfair treaties to cripple their economy".

he said that plans were in the talking with all nations including China and India(two of the worlds largest polluters) that would increase technology sharing and other ideas in improving the enviroment.

not bogus treaties

So, instead of letting our economy be crippled, as, oddly, it has not crippled the economies of the countries who have signed, we chose instead to play the "but mom, billie doen't have to " game. Long after Bin Laden and GW Bush are forgotten men, known only to history scholars, the world will remember us only for whether or not we destroyed the planet.

youre right on that note.

i dont know who first crafted the 20th century civl rights bill

i dont know who forced people to accept blacks into univerities

i dont know who first voted in favour of womens suffrage (right to vote for morons like makor/tholiak and nowhereman)


i dont know who created the atomic bomb



i dont know a whole lot of facts like that, but i do know the repercussions in our day and age.


when men learn that noone cares who did what, then maybe we can all get down to working for betterment of mankind instead of personal gain.
