USA Politicians Express Moving Concerns for Wildlife?
I came across this Craigslist advertisement (or plug) in the political discussion section of the forum. The plug was titled:
"Eco-Lovers of the USA Express Moving Concerns for Wildlife"
I'm not much of an environmentalist, and to be honest I didn't even mean to click on the link. I was much more interested in the one above it titled "Aliens Give Barack Obama Foreign Advice" but my finger slipped and I found myself in the midst of a tree-hugging article. Here's a small quip from the post on Craigslist:
"Many thought with the Bush regime coming to an end, he could do no more harm to damage the United States or the world. We thought that with him at the Olympic Games kicking back and taking time off, the people pulling his strings would too. Yet as we all know, nothing ever goes as planned, and with the ever looming demise of the Republican controlled government they seem to have taken to the strategy of doing as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time. Playground tactics, but most effective. This time it’s not anti-war protesters that are angry; it’s the environmentalists of the USA that have declared Bush’s latest action an outcry. Bush and his administration have decided that they want agencies to make up their minds about wither human expansion such as bridges, tunnels, buildings, and dams have a negative and/or harmful impact on the animal population. But what does this mean and what are the reasons behind this strange necessity to completely change the Endanger Species act which hasn’t seen a single edit since 1986? "
There was a link at the bottom which took me to the RSS feed page of an Author named Fred McCoy. Most of his ramblings spanned from the political to the mundane, but they were always on point and interesting enough that I subscribed to his feed and get updates whenever he posts a new article anywhere.
I digress.
The article explains that tree-huggers of the USA Express Moving worries for wildlife because of our [sarcasm]excellent politicians[/sarcasm]. Honestly, I think that getting rid of the endangered species act, or even modifying it so that businesses and federal agencies have to go through the proper channels such as scientists before starting a project, is a bad idea. It pretty much means that any company, at any time, can destroy any section of land for a new mini-mall owned by a Chinese company. That is definitely not what we need in America right now.
