Stephan:   Today's SR is devoted to the ignorance and greed that is the hallmark of all too many industrialized societies. The U.S., Canada, and Australia, all three have governments dominated by carbon energy and chemical industries. As a result all three are making decisions that history will condemn. I see these stories every day, and it just becomes ever more clear to me that the only hope for the future is an electorate the rises up and compels, through its votes, a fundamental change. But equally clear to me is the sad truth this is unlikely to happen. About a third of voters in all three countries are what are euphemistically known as low-information theological or ideological voters. In the end we will have no one to blame but ourselves. In the U.S., November's vote will tell us our fate. -- Stephan
