" But he has nothing on at all,” said a little child at last ... And the chamberlains walked with still greater dignity, as if they carried the train which did not exist. " Full text in: The Emperor’s New Suit by Hans Christian Andersen (1837)

Had the G8 not so ruthlessly exploited 80% of the world's population for decades, and the resources in those lands, the G20 would've existed 30 years ago, not the G8. Without that exploitation, there could not exist the wealth of the G8. Further, now that the G20 is established, the G8 club needs to be abolished forever.
