"An examination by the Sun shows that the pension fund's $23 billion portfolio contains investments in companies that do business with rogue nations or whose practices contribute to social or environmental ills in direct opposition to United States and Nevada policies." -- Las Vegas Sun
Who are you kidding? What exactly are the practices that we take practice in? Aren't we a rogue nation? Going against what the greater good tells us and going into a war? That's pretty rogue to me.
Then there is our environmental practices. As those million soccer mom commandeered SUVs roaming around our streets isn't contributing to any environmental ills. How about the hundreds of cars I see every day stuck in traffic, most of us with a single person to each vehicle? We don't even have to talk about all the plants dumping nuclear waste or rocket fuel into our biggest water sources.
From as far back as I can remember, a child without much of a social or political opinion, I have always seen that when it comes to this stuff we're always the pot calling the kettle. It doesn't matter which side you're on or where you're standing, we're still all a bunch of hypocrites. If not for acknowledging it, then for not doing any major beans about.
