$$ rules. BP, Chinese government, chemical companies...in short corporations are destroying the earth while governments are looking the other way. It is all to satisfy our demand for an artificial, unsustainable lifestyle. Have you noticed that it is ratcheting up exponentially as of late?

Isn't this also the country that has fleeced millions from the US with the internet money order scams?
