When the Kyoto Treaty came before the Senate it was voted down unanimously |

Why? What was wrong with it? Have those issues been raised and have changes been made to accommodate? Something has to be done about Climate concerns and America is hiding it's head in the sand.

2. It forces countries and corporations to be responsible. That is NOT |
|
acceptable to the corporatist government currently in power. Beyond that, Kyoto isn't perfect, by far, but it is a hell of a lot better than nothing, imo.

4. The government in power are the republicans given how |
|
they have the House, the Senate and the White House so, yes, those running the government, in my eyes, are corporatists.
