But for some reason, they sincerely do not think that they personally will ever be affected by the destruction of this planet.

This disgusting poor excuse for a human being Dick Cheney never ceases to amaze and anger me with his pro-big oil / anti-American behaviour. This "man" was sworn in and has been entrusted to work within the Constitution towards the betterment of our Nation. Instead he takes every opportunity to undermine our well being with his unjustified war, no-bid contracts, devisive rhetoric, obfuscation of justice and energy policies that do nothing but protect his oil buddies and fill the allready overflowing coffers of his BFF's at Haliburton. I shouldn't be surprised knowing this traitor's track record but it still doesn't stop this life-long pacifist from wishing that someone would do this Country and the world a great service and put one between his beady soulless eyes.
