In this country, we will wait until it's past the crisis point before we
actually do anything about it. We don't believe we should have to
inconvenience ourselves for the greater good. The world revolves around us.

Bush's big plan is to drill for oil in Alaska, which would give the US six
months worth of oil, wouldn't be available for ten years, and could cause a
disaster in that region.

Whether it's the depletion of fossil fuels, the destruction of the
environment, or overpopulation, the majority of people in this country
aren't going to do a damn thing until it's too late.
