Since when are americans Christian?
I'm pretty sure I'm an american, AND not a christian. Amazing, I know. Sorry to go off topic like that, but we arent ALL bible-thumbers.
On Topic, however. Do we, as americans, have a right to pollute just as much as we want? Well, as far as I can tell, yes we do. If we want to pollute til we all day, it's our right to do so. Now, you might feel that it's NOT our right, because in doing so, we might take the rest of you with us. That is a valid concern. However, most of us over here just dont care about the rest of you. We tend to have a very strong attitude of "nobody else matters". It may not be right, but its the way it is (not everyone here is that way, but I'd safely say the majority - including myself).
