95. Very thoughtful, didn't piss me off, I feel the same
The fellow from Jackson Hole has a good point, though. You can't run from yourself, and you will find that, as good as your intentions may be, those in other places will hold you responsible for the good ol' USA, anyway.

I think the quote from Harry Belafonte is apt:

"We must just understand that the sacrifice we have yet to make, the sacrifice that is demanded of us. Somebody, in cleaning up the air, is going to have to talk about not driving anymore. Somebody, in trying to get a better price for goods, is going to have to say that we have to stop running after the fast food market. Somebody is going to have to make a sacrifice, somebody is going to have to put their body in front of the machine, somebody is going to have to die."
