I don't, McGrath. I'm just not very hopeful, when I look around the world, not just at the USA, that the lesson will be learned before it is too late. When I look at South America, China, Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Bloc, the environmental policies of the the US are certainly no worse, and often, much better than these places, and more likely to consider the impact of these policies on the quality of life of we citizens. Which is a pretty sad statement, in and of itself, considering what a lousy job we do.

That doesn't mean I advocate simply throwing the towel in. It means striving to do what is right, and to work to try to get governments and corporations to do what is right, simply because I believe it is right, regardless of I beleive a different outcome is likely.
