Yes... especially in the USA, since they are the worlds biggest consumers of natural resources and also the worlds biggest polluters
OR we could just start to use them rationally instead of wasting oil on unnecessarily huge SUV's and recycling >_<

I saw a documentary about the school system in USA... It also covered the relationship between schools and the teachers where it explained how difficult it is for a school to fire a teacher due to their contracts which are enforced by the labor union. They even told about a teacher that was sexually harassing his students with emails with sexual content and the school could not fire him for more than 2 years due to the contract. If this is still true, then i do not think that "something he said" will get him fired.

P.S. Is it true that you can not choose which public school your child will attend in the US and that they pre-assign it to you based on your zip-code? o_O
