Lastly, let’s always remember to keep these discussions civilized and respectful, even when we disagree on certain topics.
1.Do people really care about the environment, if it means higher price levels? Does recycling work? Has anyone hugged a tree recently?
2.Are “developing” nations really concerned about the environment? Why or Why not? How do the decisions made by these nations impact us?
3.In our present society, people demand and expect more from the government but very few people are willing to pay higher taxes, explain this paradox? Can this situation work?
4.Are you confident that the Social Security system will still be running smoothly when you retire?
