[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jubilicious: [QB] I will point out that the USA doesn't run a democracy, it runs a REPUBLIC. There's a difference. And I agree with Tom. What we do affects the rest of the world. Therefore we are responsible for these things. The Earth, the planet we live on, does not discriminate between country. When all the trees get chopped down in all the rainforests and regular forests down in South America and over in Europe, It's not going to look at the USA and say "Oh, they still have trees, so we'll let all the people of the USA have oxygen to breathe". When all the smog builds up in the rest of the world, and the acid rain gets so bad that it melts brick buildings with one rainstorm, The rainclouds aren't going to say "OH, there's the USA! There's no smog there so we won't rain there either". And it goes vice-versa. Our smog doesn't stop here at our borders. The planet WE ALL live on is EVERYONE's concern. There are some things that are more important than whether some country is dictating the USA's internal policy. I, personally, would like to know that the Earth is safe to raise children on, and that my children's children will also know what it's like to have clean air, beautiful trees/grass/flowers/nature, and safe drinking water. I do not think I'm alone in this wish. [/QB][/QUOTE]
