Russ is absolutely right. We've been hearing that the sky is falling every few years for decades and decades. And it hasn't fallen yet.
You know WHY it hasn't fallen? Because of constant, desperate, tooth and nail battles fought every inch the way by those crazy leftist loons, against naysayers like Russ. Every day, corporatist shills run off at the mouth about how the sky hasn't fallen yet, this is no different, let the free market do its thing. Every day, stupid crazy activists fight against the forces of unfettered capitalism to try to salvage a little of the planet's power to sustain life, and every day, they succeed enough to keep the corporatist shills breathing for another day.
The fact that corporations and blockheaded Imperialist ambition haven't killed us all isn't proof that these things are great, Russ. It's proof that the crazy leftists punks you so deride still have a little fight left. Our side has saved your ass before, and we're going to keep trying to save you and your children, even though we disagree with you.
You're welcome.
