We should re-name ourselves Ponzi..

If Pluto can be downgraded from planet to space rock, surely we could change our name:)

3. I posted this yesterday...you may like it considering your title
A twelve year old speaking to the UN about the condition of our world.
Favorite line: You adults don't know how to fix these things, so quit breaking them.

5. Kids always speak the truth, don't they?
During the '00 recount, my friend's daughter said " Why don't they just count ALL the votes, and whoever has the most, wins"?..she was in 5th grade..

8. And they relay their succinct message so much better than us most of the time.
Love the, "why don't they just count all the votes, and whomever has the most, wins". Now, why didn't we think of that?? :)

6. Actually, given the fact that our planet is 2/3 oceans..
It should be called "Water", not "Earth".
