Supreme Court...and other possibilities
I am by far one of the more extreme agnostics to have entered this world by no miracle; sperm meets egg and 9 months later, a young couple wishes they had used prophylactics. Just kidding. But yes, I do still have faith...of sorts. As much as Fush may have bucked things up, we have a brilliant system which has vested power in the Supreme Court to rule that the EPA does indeed have the authority to regulate emissions. I have faith that if the EPA demanded that cinnamon rolls and french fries pop out of exhaust pipes by tomorrow, that it could happen. I have faith that if the hundreds (yes, hundreds) of philanthropic billionaires in the world - and the Waltons - united, that we could solve some of our greatest dilemmas by tomorrow morning, all in good time to have afternoon tea with the Brits. The X Prize Foundation - a brilliant partnership - has just as much faith, as they offer millions in prizes to those who innovate innovation itself. Responsible for encouraging the creation of a vehicle short of a personal space ship, the foundation has just created a new prize to encourage the development of a practical car with a new feat of 100 mpg. However, we need more cooperation and involvement from national governments. Amidst corruption and conflicts of interest, we create solutions and attempt to eke out results.
