. . . Our politicians and governments don't seem to be too concerned about the environmental catastrophes of recent years. They seem to be more concerned about lining their own wallets and getting as much for free as they can from the 'System', without being so blatant and obvious about it that they lose their much needed votes which keep them in their positions of power over the people. Of course they can just pay or use their friends in the media and "spin-doctors" to run stories which make them look good to cover-up all of the evil and corruption that is really going on in politics today (it seems that everyone can be bought for a price in the world of politics), so people are deceived into thinking that the politicians are actually trying to help them, when many are really just ripping them off. . . .
