And I thought L.A. smog was bad...

Ah, progress. And all we need to do to boost the world economy is to keep expanding the economy. I hope that cutting America's addiction to foreign oil by 50% will be able to stop the rest of the world's addiction to it. Not to mention, I hope the emerging "green-economy" will provide enough extremely low-skilled, high-paying jobs to the exponentially growing population of unemployed, fat, lazy, self-entitled, rude, under-educated, over-violent Americans who need jobs.

I've hoped a lot of things in my life, and I've found that it doesn't often float or lead to change. It just leads to broken hearts. Good luck, America. We'll need it, along with the rest of the world. A miracle would be nice too.
