"TALKING TO AMERICA"
I recently got into a "debate" with a few all-American chaps in which we tried to discuss the connections between the 1st world's consumerist mentality and it's effect on the rest of the opopulus and the environment as it directly relates to the rise of terrorist and anti-American activity. However the response was less than literate and the American's refused to claim any responsibility in the matter, in fact they pretty much refused to take part in the debate and decided it was more appropriate to chant U.S.A. and yell out slanderous remarks. On the subject of sweatshop labour world exploitation and unsustainable environmental practices the general concensus was "That's Reality live with it". My concern is that long as we continue to live with that reality we will also have to live with anti-American factions, terrorist-bombers, hatred and the destruction of innocent lives. Certainly the people involved in these activities are all insane, the business men, the politicians the mad bombers, they are all freaking nuts! Make Peace not Products!
