The cheeseburgers and SUVs also, but especially the shorts. ;^) --Christine Response to dagon:

They can't have their 3 pound cheeseburger. They can plough their SUV through the woods. They can't travel around the globe in shorts or buy 3-pound cheeseburgers of a familiar US brand name when in China. They can'd o this or that. Whine whine whine. They can't invade Venezuela (because they're socialist scum). Hey why not start another resource grab war? Please get over yourself. Like always, americans are whining again.

You'll excuse me if I'm not one to give huge credit to a study that implies with little proof that America is going to suffer a Malthusian emergency in the next 20 years. Also, Animal Welfare may not be one of my top 9 goals for improving the condition of the Human Species. And, um, I'm so glad that in the future I never get to leave my house again. "[L]ess travel had meant more social interaction"? When the guy doesn't leave his house even on vacation? I guess this is paradise to an agoraphobic green, but I'll pass thanks. If my children can't stand (in person) on the Great Wall, or at the Aqueduct of Segovia, I will consider our quality of life lessened to a terrible degree. In fact, if they don't have the opportunity to watch the Moon's shadow cross the Earth in a solar eclipse from the Moon, I'll probably feel cheated. This report has a decidedly Green color to it.
