IN many parts of America the simple task of walking from one place to another is totally discouraged.
Even with a moment's walk down the road, the police are likely to stop and question people out on a stroll.

On a global scale, America has four per cent of the population and produces 25 per cent of the harmful emissions.
How can the US lecture the developing world when it has an absolute disregard for the Kyoto agreement on emissions and climate control?
It only highlights the desperate measures the US undertakes for its economy and status at the expense of everything else.
