My guess is that if Alabama let things rot, that would be Alabamas fault and people could just MOVE, right? the way it should be.

and if we'd let it be, we'd have one more huge national forest instead of the bottoms that they are now.

Yes, you know better than all of them! This is the problem with America today. Here's the new rule: IF YOU ARE NOT A CLIMATE SCIENTIST, JUST SHUT UP ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

They are a bunch of special interest groups with an agenda, NOT a bunch of experts who know any better than I do.

try reducing spending instead of raising taxes. Aren't we told, as individuals and families, that we shouldn't live beyond our own means and that if we overextend ourselves, we should stop spending so much? Why can't that work for the government as well? oh yeah, I forgot. You MUST have your liberal socialist freeloading programs to help everyone that isn't rich.
