Want a very interesting statistic? Western Europe, Japan, Russian, The
good 'ol U S of A, Brazil and Canada, countries with a combined population
of less than than 1,000,000,000 people, use almost 2 TIMES more of every
natural resource, consume 3 TIMES more of the worlds production products,
produce 2 TIMES more pollution and cause 5 TIMES more environmental
degrogation than the rest of the world combined. In other words, 12% of
the worlds population, THAT'S US, YOU AND ME, NOT THEM, are the ones who
are causing the collapse of the world's biosystems.

So who do you think THEY blame? And then we go around wondering why they
hate US so much.

I sure know that when you see a video of a forest on fire for slash and burn
farming, hydraulic gold mining, and mercury being used for all sorts of
things, (and more), it ain't in the USA. Large third world cities with air
quality similar to "London Fog" of the Industrial Revolution. We flew over
what must have been a coal fired electric plant on our way to Mazatlan. I
thought the forest was on fire. The smoke went to the horizon. No tree
huggers in Mehico.

But seriously, folks, in case you didn't know, or slept through history
classes for decades, they hate us for interfering in their governments, and
in some cases installing brutal figurehead tyrants. We revolted in those
circumstances, and we didn't even have tyrants governing us who were
murdering thousands of civilians every year for entertainment, dissent, or
just because someone turned them in as "suspicious". That will create a
hatred that will last forever. It's in them history books. Read them.

What's that? You can't understand those big words and remember all those
facts?

And how's that isolationist policy working so far, Sparky?
