[DELUSIONAL]

1. Island Nations are aware of their connection to the ocean

especially the ones that are at sea level or close to sea level.

The younger generation (the ones who are aware) are really pissed at the major mess left by this greediest of generations. The mess that they might be able to clean up -- or it will kill off the human race.

I've done my bit to help -- I didn't have children.

2. How depressing.

Greed will be mankind's undoing.
