EU Ratifies Kyoto Treaty
An anonymous submitter sends: "Yahoo! News is reporting that all 15 member states of the European Union have just ratified the Kyoto treaty to cut greenhouse emissions by 8% over the next ten years (the US agreed to 7%.)"
Yep, you Americans get the government your bosses pay for. Forget the treaty for a moment and reform the campaign finance system that means you get such callow, brain dead politicians that they would sell your country and its future for a few bucks.
By the way, if you are one of those right wing morons who thinks global warming isn't real, or worse, doesn't matter, go ahead and mod me down. Because I have got a brain I've posted enough intelligent contributions to have karma to burn!
Just because we're not joining up with the European Union(who keeps making it obvious they fucking hate us)
If you could pull your doublethinking head out of your ass, you might look around and start to wonder *why* most of the rest of the world hates us.
Off topic from Kyoto, but look at some of our other fucked up policies.
At the recent UN childrens summit, America threatened to refuse to sign any declaration that contained even oblique references to condoms and abortion.
This is in regards to adolescent pregnancy and AIDS. Who were the countries on our side in this? Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Syria, and The Vatican.
Who were against us (or more accurately for freedom) on this? The rest of the world.
This is one reason people fucking hate the US and rightly so. We claim to be free and anti terror, yet we push policies that only terrorists agree with.
I am a patriotic American.
If you don't question our fucked up policies and our illegally elected president, then you are not.
