The 'ghost in the room' at Copenhagen
Hugo Chavez said in his presentation at COP15 that there was a "silent and terrible ghost in the room" called capitalism, the reactive applause of those attending was beyond enthusiastic. After 20 minutes of his 5 minute time allotment had passed, he closed his Karl Marx quote punctuated speech saying "…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....." At which point the audience awarded him with a standing ovation.
Other speakers such as the Australian representative and the President of Ethiopia who presented reasoned points of view were much less enthusiastically received. Many speakers had to endure sirens and chanting while they spoke perpetrated by protestors permitted to be in the audience.

If it wasn't known to you before, this should show you what the socialists and tyrants of the world want of America. They want us to fund their way of life because it can't support itself. Cop15 has a purpose and it is NOT to help the environment. Cop15's purpose is to figure out a way to steal money from the American citizen to support people unwilling to personally sacrifice what is required to support themselves much like the San Fransisco art community wants to live their care free artist lifestyle while living on government subsidies.
Don't believe me? Then why else does the potential treaty hinge on how much America is willing to pay to these "developing" nations?
