Enterprise Architecture: From Incite comes Insight...

Many American's think global warming is a serious concern, but don't ask them to make personal sacrifices to help fight it...



At some level, American's have outsourced the destruction of land to far away places such as India and China where the poor will do anything regardless of morale conscious in order to make a living. Indian outsourcing is driven off the mental model that we shall eliminate all tasks which can be commoditized so that we can focus on higher value work.

George Alexander left an interesting comment in my blog that is worthy of analysis:

Why do I love folks who throw stones from glass houses? Maybe you are unaware that during the industrial revolution, the now-developed countries were polluting the most so that their economies would be developed.

Stealing so-called best practices from America will provide many third-world countries who aren't capable of innovating on their own, exactly what they deserve.

Maybe you forgot to mention that America has never ratified the Kyoto protocol which gears toward a cleaner environment. Not surprising since we all know that if it does, its own economy would suffer a lot.

This is what happens when you put folks named George in charge.

Maybe you can also mention that Americans are the biggest gas guzzlers in the world (forget the fact that the rest of the world sees America killing for oil) and publicize through your blog that the 2 million gallons busted folks taking their trucks for joy rides can help the environment.

Yes, I fully agree that most environmentally conscious folks do some brain dead things. Maybe, we need to call out American corporations who will allow their jobs to be outsourced to India yet won't let their own employees work from home. This could save more resources than eliminating joy riding.

Oh, maybe you can also mention that when it comes per capita waste your utopian nation wins numero uno. A moral lecture on pollution control for the rest of the world from a country with the highest amount of per capita waste...

What would happen if bloggers in India decided to actually use their blogs for good and call out us Americans for this waste instead of exercising their right to remain silent? How often do you think I hear of peers with 3,000 square feet homes (or larger) complaining that they don't have enough space and that they don't make enough money. A healthy dose of reality in how folks in other parts of the planet live would most certainly help...
