Lebell, do you realize that the title's of Bush's policies are quick soundbites themselves?
Clear Skies and Clean Water Initiatives very clearly are not meant to assist the environment. If Bush was honest about them he would call them Helping Pre-Clean Air Act Coal Furnaces Thrive Initiative and Harvesting Americas Forests for Profit Initiative. That's why it's so fucked up and Orwellian.
I think my descriptions are perfectly applicable. Current policy is too shortsighted. What we should be following is the Great Law of the Iroquois nation. It states: "In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." Too often we put very short term economic needs of some people above long term environmental health and sustainability for our nation. It is a disservice to the seven generations of Americans that will follow us.
