Why do we look for linear correlation in places there are none? If we fell yesterday does it mean we will fall today and tomorrow? If our grandfather was a thief does it mean our dad was and we will be also? Well this is the idiotic type of logic we use to address things unrelated and now we are doing this in regards to the economy and our American future and even worse, our planets future. The world is just not big enough for globalization, and a global economy, and if you don’t believe me then just consider the Olympics in China, or the more severe issue of food and water shortages occurring throughout the world. Lets begin with China, see being green is not the answer to environmental concerns and global warming fears, it is a band-aide on a much to big sore, the problem is the Earth cannot support tens of industrialized nations all cranking out by-products and emissions no matter how green we try to be.

You have China stating that their Beijing environmental officials will implement a series of temporary measures to stop construction and close heavy industries so they can attempt to clean the city’s disgracefully polluted air when the Olympics open their in August. Reportedly Beijings’ Environmental Protection Bureau will halt all digging and pouring of concrete on construction sites from July through September as well as shut down numerous factories and steel mills as a way to try and eliminate the horrendous amount of normal pollution which occurs. Officials are expected to ban almost all of Beijing’s 3.3 million vehicles during the Olympics. Reportedly numerous other provinces and municipalities surrounding Beijing will also be halting factories. The steps are being taken because Beijing is one of the world’s most polluted cities and they do not want to showcase this to the world during the Olympics. Usually deadly levels carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide float above Beijing at levels five times higher than World Health Organizations safety standards and this is the problem, add New York, Mexico City, Pune, Tokyo and numerous other big cities and then throw in all the emerging big cities in previously undeveloped areas and you can see that the world has a crisis. Now if the pollution and dangerous chemicals do not kill us the starvation might. Riots are occurring not just is Haiti any longer, but also in India, Bangladesh, Africa, and Egypt because of the soaring costs of basic foods.

We all are aware that there appears not to be enough oil in the world, but now the salmon are disappearing, smelt runs are lessening, duck and goose counts are down, and droughts are affecting growers throughout the world, and you add all this up and it lets you know that the world must take a breadth and globally slow down and think out its global strategy or we will all perish together. There are riots all over the world and not just in the poor countries but in developing countries and in some areas of our own United States. If we do not enact some protectionism in America we will be vulnerable to tragedies effecting countries throughout the world. America has worked hard to get where it is, we should not allow it to be taken so easily or destroyed so sloppily.

While our 2008 Presidential candidates grammatically snipe at each other our great country is hurting.
