Chapter 1

The passage reading, "We care about the fate of the Bengel tiger because we can...," sums up our contries actions entirely.  This is saying that because our country has the money, or acts like it has the money, to simply throw around, we take advantage of it and drift away from the necessities.  We put so much money into going green and bettering the environment, paying athletes millions upon millions of dollars to hit a ball with a bat, and have independent companies making cakes for dogs because we can!  In other countries, that is not an option.  They are forced to conserve their money withoup the choice of branching out and spending it on luxury things.  In all honesty, America should start living a little more realistically and realizing that we are trillions of dollars in debt, but that is most likely not the case.  This is America for christ's sake!
