I love D2... but this god-awful. It's a shame they took a great song and made it this sickeningly insipid.

Honestly...
we are bored by your music...

we are not even sure if you own it...
or if some master of the nineteen hundreds is in chains...
or has lost an ear...
to bring it to you...

we are enthralled by your presence though
and have no money

any of us
not REAL money

(an American Express card doesn't count, sweetie)

speak to us
for free.

Write us really nice articles and essays...
we know you are smart
and we can't get down at OUR brains to do it anymore.

* Cap-and-trade would cost an average of $314 billion a year in lost GDP, according to Heritage Foundation estimates, or $9.4 trillion over the period from 2012 to 2035.
* It could cost taxpayers up to $200 billion year, or $1,761 per family annually, according to a U.S. Treasury Department report.

Wow, talk about cherry-picking your information...

It appears that you're trying to say "Dealing with the climate issue will be too expensive, therefore we shouldn't bother", but you either lack the courage, or the brain cells, to distill your idea into a statement.

Grow some cojones and say what you mean.

First, nice video. it was good to see some familiar and not so familiar faces

Second, it was nice to hear a Midnight Oil song. Great band that came along a little early. Plus, the original is so much better.

Third, this treat is very real and possibly to late to stop. There has been lots of chatter but very little action. It's time for China and the U.S to step up and find real world solutions to this crisis.

Let's go.
