If letting these Randites set policy is the alternative, then, yeah, I think I'm okay with America failing. [Flagged]

If I wanted America to fail, I'd create videos filled with inflammatory rhetoric - containing half truths and lies. And then I would post it on Youtube. And I would win.

If I wanted America to fail, I'd push self-serving agendas over facts, manipulative language over clear rhetoric, profit over compassion, and lies over truth. And then I would move myself and my industry to another place that still had abundant resources and an uneducated population, so that I could ransack them like a mafia of locusts.

Watching conservative Canadians preach to Americans about environmental legislation is so deliciously bizarro. Our two nations have come so far over the last six years.
