Thirty second sound bites have their place. God knows I've used them myself.
But to use them to explain policies like logging and clean air ignores the fact that there are other issues involved, specifically our economy, renewability, etc.
While I understand the "1984" comparison, right now it strikes me more as paranoia than reality.
Not to say that we don't need to be vigilant, but we definitely aren't even close.
