While we're O/T: Not enough talk about Bush's other war - - against the environment. I'm far from being an environmental activist, however as a frequent user of the environment (ocean, air, mountains, rivers) I'm totally sickened by Bush's disregard for environmental safeguards and preservation. Either directly, or indirectly, he'll eventually kill us all if left unchecked.
Where should I begin (here's about 1/2 of the list)...
3/01: Bush abandons pledge to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
3/01: rejects Kyoto Protocol on global warming
7/01: reduces funding for greenhouse-gas reductions in developing countries
9/01: uses terrorist attacks as excuse to weaken protection of wetlands
10/01: guts tough mining protections on federal lands;
issues weaker arsenic-in-drinking water standard
2/02: rolls back power plant pollution standards
2/02: Eric Schaeffler, a top EPA official, resigns in protest of Bush policies
4/02: allows mining in Everglades
7/02: opposes Senate-backed renewable energy requirement
8/02: only major leader not at U.N. Summit on Sustainable Development
11/02: repeals rules requiring older factories to cut pollution emissions
12/02: defers action on global warming
1/03: plans to weaken Clean Water Act wetlands protections
This & his Iraq stance are the work of a very selfish person, imo.
