Right. Where will “justice” have been all of this time when after many more decades of preparing the Green State, it’s scientifically proven to be and accepted as a false alarm and the rationale for going in that direction is ridiculed by the masses...The media has been pushing it harder for Obama than they have for “The Planet”.
