METAPHOR FOR DISASTER

This horrendous airliner crash in Brazil could be used as a metaphor for our governments inaction on climate change. President bush and his allies in Congress have been continually warned about the buildup of green house gases. The powers that be in Brazil were continually warned about an unsafe runway. bush and his minions say curbing carbon emissions will be harmful to the economy. The Brazilian decision makers said closing the dangerous runway would be harmful to Sao Paulo's economy. bush and his allies push ineffective and wasteful use of bio fuels as a solution to emissions. Brazilians put a new layer of asphalt on the short runway.

Well you get the picture I am sure. We haven't quite had our plane crash yet, but we are speeding down the runway.
