"Please grow a backbone and support your country and what it means. Hopefully it will still be there for our grandkids' grandkids"

It won't be as long as you don't want to pay the dollars for your gas and drive those big guzzlers.The world has about thirty years to get to grips with environmental problems, and now China is growing its economy I see no chance of human beings being able to sacrifice the now for the tomorrow. We're doomed because of our own greed and stupidity.What's the sense of a nation with 3% of the world's population using 25% of the world's energy...and then boasting about it? And then electing a President so dumb he preaches that he wants the rest of the world to be the same?
Doooooooooomed!
