If you look at amerikan media, you find that moronic performer news dominates, with zero news of pakistan or afghanistan. I wonder what the last year of the USSR was like.

Seriously. I have to go to http://www.antiwar.com to get news, or type "pakistan" into google news to find out the story. And the story is FAIL.

Look, I fully endorse freedom. But we no longer have it in the US, and it is used entirely as propoganda by the USG, milking the tribal circuits. Die for freedom, baby.

If not war, plague and famine. Or we could live in eden with birth control. Naaah, that will never happen.

BTW, carbon dioxide is not so bad. What is amazing is that humans have doubled the nitrogen and phosphorous inputs to the ocean. Nitrogen via the human nitrogen fixation process (for food) and phosphate, which is not normally very soluable, ergo, unavailable.

The problem is not advanced civ and carbon; its feeding too many humans.
