 The majority of the American people don't give a serious fig about
 "environmental degradation". Though it might seem a call to duty,
 speaking for majorities is a bit iffy! The habits of the well-to-do
 (us) indicate a "lets-enjoy-it-all-while-we-can-get-away-with-it"
 attitude.  Now, a gigantic 3rd world is edging up wanting their devilish
 dance fun with the toxic dragons. The American people would more gladly
 pay for "glamorous lung additions" to go with $100 tennis shoes!

     Plato was a voice in the wilderness; not even sure if HE believed
     what he convoluted to have said!  ............(I'll slip away before
     Frank gets out his favorite skinning knife!).
     Politicians project the average "ids" of who (the successful) we
     are.  Corporations are specialized organisms made up of some/many
     (again successful) of us; "best values of the state" trail off into
     the humor of contentious histories; neither "Plato" nor the "common
     rabble" are up for sociological Oscars.  The very BEST we can assume
     is that nature guides us along some unknown goal-path with us "thinking"
     She is concerned of our lordly opinions ..........Ha!!! (have not yet
     hazzzzzarded the WORSSER)!
