But ,Chancellor Alistair Darling, says “While the richest countries currently account for 75% of emissions, more than 90% of future emissions growth will come from developing countries.” I do not think that it is fair to tag that kind of burden on developing countries. If the “experts” are going to help the development of these countries, I believe it is safe to say that the burden is not as great, and picture being painted is abstract at best.

No one should be denied QUALITY healhcare becasue they have no insurance. And no one should have to decide to eat or pay for medications. We, the vanishing middle class are paying higher and higher premiums and co-pays and insurance companies are charging more and more and denying coverage. Walk a mile in the shoes of hard working Americans. Why are we constantly asked for money to cover the cost of fighting about healthcare? We can't afford to keep our homes, are constantly bombarded by every organization for donations for things that should be RIGHTS of all Americans. Lobbying should be outlawed. And the money they throw at the people elected to represent us, should be what is being used to solve these issues.
