Your POINT is like saying that we don't have the answers. The answers are in fact within us. You just have to make it happen. A clearer message from Congress, that the U.S. is ready to regulate greenhouse gases, might achieve results with a fraction of the legal wrangling.
The government Emanates as you put it, from special interest groups with powerful lobbyist's such as Auto Manufacturers, oil companies, Greenpeace, Pita, anyone that can sway a vote with Cash or Election funding! That is a the problem and that is Precisely the Problem right now, it is not a government of the people for the people, it is government of the Corporations for the Corporations! The problem is we the people vote for Professional politicians, because the little guy can't afford 40 million dollars to get elected to a 800 grand a year job! The you have a party that has a particular agenda, that they want to promote ie: the health bill! Nuff said!
