    US politics is SO fundamentally broken, even the people itself just see 2 or 3 sides ... politics aught to be much more fine-tuned. No wonder you have a president who sees everything in black and white. I guess its the result of the 'winner takes all' methodology.

    i think it just has to do with our inborn laziness... just too fr*cking lazy to shift the economy a small bit. Also watch out for comments about damage to the economy. companies who care for the environment (and i mean not some marketing-spin) are generally more performant, just by not wasting.

    i want to remark that we have better technology now, so China needn't pollute as much as we did, and go straight to windpower/solarpower instead of using coal.

    the best way to end problems like these is : level the playing field for everyone, and i mean EVERYONE, every last 6.6 billionth person on earth. I a few decades, this would be the case, if the west(USA,EU,JAP,AUS) wouldn't be so protective of itself.

    they money they (and the rest of europe for that matter) get when they are unemployed is a lot less than they got(probably somewhere between 40 and 70%) on their last job. Just enough to keep them fed and housed and not be pushed in illegality (stealing ...). It's a delicate balance : enough to keep em fed, not too much they don't try to find a job.

    the definition of "kilo" being 1000. Nope. Kilo is NOT defined as 1000. Kilo is only defined in conjuction with metres,liters,grams,.... in the SI-system as a 1000 units. In conjuction with Byte, it has been defined as 1024 units, since at least the sixties.
