One problem with culture

What do you mean?
We made the atmosphere really dirty
And we put bad gases in the air
And the climate is changing?

We do it a LITTLE bit
But just a little
You’re NOT all working together?
You’re NOT giving up the badtechnology?

Ordinary Americans think gun controlis good …
… overwhelmingly
But POLITICIANS disagree
Politicians think gun control is bad
