26, one huge reason Posted by tohunga, Sun Oct-17-04 02:46 PM
for foreigners to want kerry to win
is that he is at least conscious of environmental issues, which concern us all. and he isn't in the pockets of the oil cartels, like Bush is
it's a sad thing, but the people who will be feeling the effects of global warming first- that is, the citizens of Southern Africa, Peru, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Kiribati, Niue, Tuvalu, and a whole bunch of other small nations, states and territories- consist of people who have a miniscule amount of the blame. (the effects include skin cancers, melanomas, rising water table, erosion of land, extinction of fish stocks, and a whole lot of other changes.)
seeing as the US accounts for only 5% of the worl population, but contributes 25% of the world's carbon emissions.. well, there's a lot of us who have our own reasons for wanting Kerry in office. and the environmental reason is a huge one. because we all share the same planet, like it or not.
