Are we all to vested in the business of killing ourselves?

Interesting point.
Three T&G stories get me going

Add to it the cost of fuel, and this recession. Could it be that little is done to change things for the better because we are all have investment relations with such companies? Retirement plans, stocks and mutual funds, fear of loosing the jobs we have, etc.

We will be leaving our children with a huge burden and a horrible future.

What will it take to turn things around?

Start with courage.
