Global warming is killing the world yet most Americans still drive gas guzzling giants that get less than 20 miles to a gallon.

Europe puts us to shame with their incredible rail way systems that transfer millions of commuters weekly. We must make sacrifices and change in order to progress. Get those big rigs off the road and revert to rail systems for hauling. Why are we letting this happen? Oil moguls of America where will your fortunes be when over half of the largest cities in the world are destroyed by water? No wonder we have so many new drugs to help people sleep. Read More »
