Re: An equitable global ETS
Hi Theory5, all,
They are going to do it (protectionism) anyway so they may as well do it for good reasons.
The only problem for politicians is that they will have no jobs and kickbacks to look forward to when they retire (as if we don't pay the greedy bastards enough already).
Oh for a world where democratic politicians truely do the right thing by their constituents and feel that their main reward is in the satisfaction of doing what is right and good for all.
Unfortunately those days are over and so is this planet if they get their pathetic way.
'The Green Knights claim'
Noble sirs, exercise thy renowned might, honour thine agreement with the Green Knight,
tis his by right.
Do not be unnerved, justice shall be served,
while accolades are undeserved and truthful valour is reserved.
Qualms about the justice of fate
carry no weight on this judgement date,
pious fervour too late.
Come now and cement the agreed pact,
that ye have enacted through use of his multifaceted axe.
Once ye have availed of its plentiful resource
there is nay recourse
ye have chosen thine course.
BTW the short version of 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' (1400's anon) is:-
For all that amounts make good honest accounts
lest ye could lose more than just lucky underpants.

Corollary to the Peter Principle: Once you have promoted all of your competents to their highest level of incompetence you must change your management philosophy from top down to bottom up, because the staff at the bottom are the only competent ones in your entire organisation.
