   I remember back in the 1990s, when the climate change issue was being   
   debated in Congress. Senator Byrd said "what's good for the goose is   
   good for the gander". It seemed like such a sensible approach to take   
   to finding win-win solutions to the the problem.

   I read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man   
   by John Perkins last week. It was a good read.
