An Inconvenient Truth

[Occhidiangela]

Most unemployed Central and South Americans, especially the most marginal, work in industries with very little environmental consequence. (At least outside of Brazil, because of the forest, and Argentina/Chile/Uruguay, due to greater industrialization.)

And, as the collapse of the USSR more or less proved, the economic devastation of insurrection more than compensates for the drop in environmental awareness. Ecologically speaking, a worldwide revolution (sans nukes) would probably be fantastic for our greenhouse gas output. Industry can't pollute if it can't operate, and it can't operate if there's no stable market.

Then we (and the UN) need to stop intervening in civil wars, like Darfur, Rwanda, Zaire, Iraq (oops, someone helped start that one, but at least it is good for the environment . . . Al Gore should be so proud) and try to start them in India, Pakistan, China, Mexico, Indonseia, Columbia, Venezuela, Argentina, and Iran.

And heck, maybe in the US? Why should we be left out of the fun! :blink::blink::blink:

Buy shares in Smith and Wesson, Colt, Remington, and Ruger, Jester, you'll make a killing! :lol:
