    Comment: America is no longer beautiful. We do not take care of each other. Our healthcare is subpar. Family values? That's a joke. Our whole country has been dumbed down. I am studying French now, so that perhaps I can move my unborn child to a country that has progressed in intellect and humanity instead of profits and pollution. For all the Americans who say leave if you don't love America, I say "Why thank you, I most certainly hope to."

    Comment: Please dont put the blame on the usa for its porblems, maybe you don't see it but there is alot we do toward enviromental protection. There are things we are working on and doing that you may not nessicarilly know. You cannot but blame or tell anyone to do something, unless you are fully utilizing every enviromental protection utility you can. If you take a bus, drive a car, smoke ciggaretes, eat fast food, use anything that is over wrapped, buy cds, or pay for anything that uses plastic, those are all just a few things that cause problems with the enviroment. How can you critcise? Is your country perfect. Just cause you don't know of the US doing something to help with the enviroment doesn't mean there not.

    Comment: France is not known for good coffee, France is not Italy... - this explains Star bucks' market penetration there. Why do the US food and entertainment industires need to invest in average USD 60 million for the marketing of each of its films? Novels, Music, Fast Food? Answer: to drive out of the market local competitors who cannot attract the same monies for advertisement. Does this make US films, novels, music, food any better?

    Comment: It is shame that the american only want to remain more of their interests instead of more responsibilities on environmental protection as the most developed nation. Can it be counted how much resource is swallowed by USA until now in order to reach the highly developed so-call american dreams or life? Do not transfer the emphasis on the other developing nation such as China and India. Take your own responsibilites,please!
