Capitalism + good intentions = 0
Not necessarily a reflection on Gingrich, John and Teresa Heinz Kerry recently came out with a book called 'This Moment on Earth'. It's great that influential people are sounding the environmental alarm, but in the Kerry's instance, we're talking about people with five personal residences, not to mention the carbon footprint every one of their stocks has. As far as I'm concerned, their message may ring true, but delivered by them it rings hollow.
Capitalism is killing the environment. To riff on something Bill Clinton once said: "it's the economy, stupid".
