Frank, I shouldn't, but... So I'm in the 3rd world, not enjoying the nice standard of living you have in Toronto. I'd like indoor plumbing, a clean/warm/dry place to sleep, and enough to eat. You guys burned all this fossil fuel, did all this pollution to raise your lifestyles. Now you want to prohibit us from doing the same in our lives? Without this, we can never develop a economic base to let us live as comfortably as you.
