Instead of using the best minds in our world to solve great climate change problems, our sharpest minds are focused on backdating options and looking for ways to use synthetic derivatives to supercharge greedy ambitions and to find clever ways to evade laws. Not only is America lost, but our world is in the process of dying — while we watch wall street struggle to find ways to be bailed out for fraud. Our priorities as a society are twisted by the people that create patriotic illusions, in hunting down evil terrorists, while in fact, it should obvious that the enemy is within!
