High David et al.

You are missing my message!    Harper has to go OK.    My point is that =
all three major political parties fail to protect our planet. Somehow =
they all cater to business interests at the peril of our critically =
threatened earth. The balance is out of wack - and tragically,  we =
voters don't seem to care.

Paul.
