    "but at least they might prevent crime"

    I'm concerned about a different kind of crime than you are.

    Yes, I would like muggings and assaults and street crime to not happen anymore. But that stuff is small potatoes...

    Let me turn it around: From a project management perspective, what part of this could be described as "success"?

    "while the US which used such a giant share back in 1990 will always be allowed to."

    This is the part I don't understand. Who is doing the "allowing"? The US is a soverign nation, soverign nations don't have to ask permission to do stuff, absent a treaty.

    Hold on, what? Because the US does not sign a trade agreement that would have a substantial negative impact, it's making it impossible for others to compete with the US economy?

    That doesn't make any sense. There's PLENTY of competition. The US economy is the most productive in the world right now, but why on would you assume that that won't change? There's a LOT of competition, and India and China are growing like crazy. Why should they get a free leg up? They're doing just fine.

    Conversely, why should the US be penalized for having the biggest economy?

    If you normalize versus production (pick your metric), the US is not using a disproportionate amount of resources, nor creating a disproportionate amount of pollution.

    That's utter horseshit. It's "Evolutionists" (because they carry membership cards...they say "Joe Smith, Evolutionist" on them...) who expose and debunk these hoaxes, because THAT IS WHAT SCIENCE IS FOR.
