PJ O'Rourke once said "Giving money and power to Congress is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenaged boys."

In that spirit, I think as a species we've been treating the planet like our parents are out of town and the house is party central. But some of us are learning and maturing.

I have hope that as a species we can clean up our act before Mom gets home and finds us with a hangover and all the dishes broken.

The first reports say, so far so good.
