it's almost as though those running our country don't make decisions that are best for our country.  weird.

we are the only country in the world that doesn't put its own interests first.

meanwhile..did those ice caps ever melt in 2013 like Gore predicted?

you're right.  but i think the only way that'll ever happen is if a 1-term limit got imposed on all 535 members of congress (both houses).  & i don't think that'll ever happen.  they're certainly not gonna term-limit themselves with legislation, so it'd take a constitutional amendment, which won't happen.  our country has gotten to the point where you'll never get 38 states to agree on anything anymore, regardless of how much sense it makes.
