Reply #6: We are so fucking selfish and stupid

[Gman]

we elect people to office that call this a theory. When people around the world are gasping for breath, do you think they'll think we really should have done something about this when we had a chance? The thing is, people right now that are very small children, or even yet to be born people in the next 10-20 years will have the awful job of trying to fix something their parents and grandparents were too stupid and selfish to stop before it happened. Our kids and grandkids are going to have to deal with this. Not us. We'll be long gone. Some dead and gone for many years. And the Cheney's and Bush's of the world won't be able to take a single solitary dime of their wealth that they made by allowing this to happen with them.

Use it up, spoil it, make it unhabitable and leave it to our kids. Real nice legacy.
