What would expect from the people sitting in ivory towers earning millions. They will try to show us they deserved every $ & cent. The little red dot should open up discussion about global warming and sea level rising over the next 20 years.It is a fact accepted by the international communities both gahment and scientific. Only in our country that this subject is not mentioned and openly talk about both in the media and gahment agency. There are also many social problems which was not allow to see the light of day. Is this an open and democratic society? We are not allow to read what we want but only allowed to read what they consider suitable for us in the gahment controlled media. For many of us we seek alternative news such as TOC with citizen reporters sharing their experience and views. Even this media is under treat as plan is afoot to block or control access to it. We must safe guard what little is left of our constitutional rights.
