Climate Spring Break! Wooh!

As the governments and their leaders the international corporations meet in Cancun for Spring Break...I mean, the climate change conference, holding their meeting in a gated resort full of golf courses which are fed by sprinklers as the poor in Mexico struggle to get water, I thought I'd provide a link to a short parable I wrote last year when this same amount of time-wasting was happening in Copenhagen. This year they debate whether or not to commoditize endangered animals and trade those animals' lives on an open market. For coverage of the spectacle, check out Democracy Now this week and last. (for those of you reading this FROM THE FUTURE, DN has a good archive function.)
