DUmmies, who can't see past their next government check, have no conception whatever of the vastness of the earth, and of the insignificance of humans in what happens to it.
If only DUmmies could fly from Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo to Miami, on a clear day. You fly for five hours, until you cross the coast of Venezuela, over unbroken jungle. Nothing but jungle, over an area the size of the United States. Then you get home and hear about the destruction of the "rain forest". I'm sure many square miles of jungle have been cleared for agriculture, but if someone is going to destroy the Amazonian jungle, they're going to have to get on the ball, because so far they're doing a really, really half-assed job.
