Will they? is it too late to dig America out of the grave? Or should we fight to stay alive.
So many Americans have died to keep the idea of America alive. Should we just forget why they are dead?
Or should we remember?

Khrushchev made the 'we will bury you' comment and banged his shoe the world could have become radiated via a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. So the people who poo poo this are playing with radiant fire.

This is the worst possible time to be putting an anti-enviromentalist in charge of America. We are one of a small number of countries that the world absolutely needs to be implementing enviromentally friendly policies. Chances of success weren't great before, but Russia and lots of other countries will be worse off with Trump calling the shots here.
