Are we inheritly good? Maybe not, but we could be if we tried really hard.

• Humans may have performed a coup de grace on the wooly mammoth
  
• An older article about our nuclear secrets up for sale grabs
• John McCain has prostituted himself

and they sound like children trapped in a lie

I don’t even know where to begin with this. How about with J.S. Simon, Exxon, speaking about his $40 billion profit last year amid huge tax breaks and soaring oil prices:

“Our earnings, although high in absolute terms, need to be viewed in the context of the scale and cyclical, long-term nature of our industry as well as the huge investment requirements”

But when pressed on spending more money on investments into alternative sources of energy while eliminating existing tax breaks:

“Imposing punitive taxes on American energy companies, which already pay record taxes, will discourage the sustained investment needed to continue safeguarding U.S. energy security”

while also saying:

current alternative energy technologies “just do not have an appreciable impact” in addressing “the challenge we’re trying to meet.”

J.S. Simon, you are my least favorite person for the day.

Frighteningly accurate.

…over water. The situation is getting serious.
