The US government is the biggest polluter of them all. The US government does not care about human health or environmental preservation. Yet Americans in general cling to some deep belief that their government cares for them, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Is that why most people are inactive in showing their opinion to the government? There have been nice developments in the last years, but there probably should be more initiatives.

This is the argument that I use against more taxation. If you pay more taxes it will be spent by these guys who as many example shows will commit enormous crimes against humanity without real consequences.

Exactly. It's mind boggling to constantly hear, "The Government does so many bad things! We need to give them more money so they'll stop!"

Huh??
