ABSTRACT
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have
to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you
against the present.
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 ce), Meditations
“The American way of life is not negotiable.”1 Almost a decade
later, George W. Bush’s line objecting to the Kyoto Protocol was
“I will not accept a plan that will harm our economy and hurt our
workers.”2
