Regardless of your horoscope or "sign," just another indication why I'm somewhat fearful we might be looking at a collective year of the dinosaur in the not-so-far-future. **

**This behavior was partly during/immediately following the most publicized climate discussion in world history.
**Our cities aren't burning, but they are certainly becoming more toxified by their very own citizens (there's not a difference).
**Separating want from need from what's best for us all will be the story of our time. Without a doubt.

Last, here's a fact. 1.4 million people die prematurely in China on an annual basis due to problems with air quality. Pollution levels are far beyond what most would consider humane.
Here's another fact. We are not much different from China or Chinese folks. Actually, hardly at all. Especially when we consider all of the manufacturing/business we as a country have displaced across the Pacific Ocean, are we not as or maybe more responsible for these (ONLY GROWING) number of early deaths? This air we see that isn't even breathable is saturated with money and greed. I guess this is what I'm saying.

Most important takeway: this air is not just staying abroad - it's closer and quite possibly getting closer than most choose to know. Call it the "Ifitdon'taffectmenowwhyshouldIworrysyndrome" we continue to suffer from probably more than anything else :)
