Thanks, Skeptic. Well spoken.

I heard today that W. has suggested that environmental controls need to be eased in California to allow plants to work at capacity and that new plants should be built in Mexico (no regulatory problems to hold down profits there!). This is all very well orchestrated, indeed.

I haven't heard anything about the Democratic vandalism of the White House; such childishness and stupidity is deplorable. I guess I've been paying too much attention to the environmental vandalism Bush is preparing for, as evidenced by his appointees. The White House can be easily repaired. How do you restore wilderness after the oil companies have been allowed to do their dirty work? There's not enough oil in the Alaskan wildlife preserve to solve our energy problems, so why do irreparable damage for a stop gap measure? Oh yeah, I forgot. The investors in the oil companies involved will reap quite a windfall while the taxpayers are left with the cleanup. Such is life under a "business-friendly" administration. And it's just beginning.
