America -- a great idea, didn't last.
I live to see the day that these people are hunted down with bloodhounds.
I would say the Republic officially ended yesterday. It is a repeat of Rome...when men could not bring themselves to understand what they passed or why they passed it...nor even read what they passed...then what we knew...has ended.
To add a bit of flavor to this episode...if you take the 50 states and split them up like the European countries....then thirty of them match up with the best of the European countries in terms of carbon issues. If we were to do anything stupid...I’d say that we split our efforts up and let the thirty positive states be left alone. Naturally...California and New York are at the top of the list of mass violators. If you disengage New York City from the rest of the state...then the rest of the state can join with the thirty “clean” states. For some reason, the media doesn’t pick up on this statistics game at all.
