That ^ video is absolutely excruciating. She talks for 3 minutes about how selfish the US is. Personally, I was annoyed. She got on my bad side by saying (in an annoyed tone) that 50% of US taxpayer dollars go toward the military. WHY IS THAT BAD!? Our military is our defense, and we are in a war. It makes perfect sense to me that we'd want to protect our soldiers with the best equipment, because those soldiers are risking their lives to protect us.

And honestly... I think she's a little paranoid. This wasteful system was DESIGNED? No. We made technological advances that didn't seem to have any repercussions when they were made. Now, we are hooked on these advancements. Plastic mills give millions of people jobs. What does she wants us to do? Quit our jobs and use natural resources? That is the other option. Without saying as much, she is suggesting that we turn back time. The world population is MASSIVE compared to what it used to be... maybe we should kill all of the extra people to slim down the atmospheric carbon. What we have is a crisis. But bitching about governmental flaws is not going to solve anything.

I rate this video a 1. Nice effort. Terrible things to complain about.
