By thinking the worst of other human beings you demean yourself. As if Blair made that rational choice. Sick.

it might only be another decade or two until we had to give up our TVs, videos, cars (of course) and a whole load of other consumer delights given to us by western civilisation at the expense of the other 5 billion people on this planet.

Personally, i'd rather go without than wage a war on the rest of the world just to support our decadent lifestyle.
