I see things like this and my first reaction is "AH, THE HYPOCRISY." After I simmer down, I do realize that it's a series of steps and while I'm frustrated at how small and slow they are, leaving us to likely fry no matter what we do from this point on, they do provide sparks of hope. As far as this site goes, it's the initial reaction that gets captured, not the reasoned dissection. It's for people like you to come along and get it out there - so many thanks!</p> Yes, I have to agree with you, Matthew.
