Hey Saabing in KS,
The problem with ethics discussions as you've defined them is that they don't address problems that people in our scope face in everyday life. While I'm acutely aware that people blow other people up in Israel over politics, people shoot other people over business deals in Russia, and people enslave other people to be sex slaves in the orient, these are not my problems. This is not to say that I shouldn't care, contact my congressman, write letters, pray etc - rather these are things that in the large part I have no control over. On the other hand I do control what I do with my used motor oil and brake fluid. I do control how much I fertilize my lawn, and I do control how my "diverse" neighbors are treated by me. The fact that Americans (and Northern Europe) consume that vast majority of the world's resources while being in the minority of population IS unethical. One symptom of this is that in America Hummers, which are unsafe towards ALL the other cars on the roads, outsell other, more responsible designs.
Another symptom of that is that is that every time you sign up for cell service you get a new phone. do you need a new phone? I certainly don't.
I assume you've seen the bumper sticker, "Never before have so few had so much..." Its certainly true. Your comments are the reason Americans abroad claim to be canadian.
