Scorched Earth Policy

It looks like the United States has another four years with a corrupt politician whose sole purpose is to serve his own needs and the needs of his financial supporters instead of the interests of his constituents.

I guess needs is a pretty ambiguous term- I mean- he doesn’t NEED to be a power whore, and he doesn’t NEED to make millions in shady back room deals, and he doesn’t NEED to protect his friends and fight their battles- but for some reason he does anyways.

Ooops! I wrong- George W. got re-elected… hmmm… the above statement applies.

He doesn’t need to sell us all up the river environmentally while his rich friends with oil companies not only get sweet tax breaks, but also legislative protection so they can keep contributing to this environmental Armageddon.

Currently there is a mass of news about the melting of the Polar Ice caps. I can’t believe this is news worthy! This is NOT news- it should be history. It’s terrifying to think about all the species that this endangers- Polar Bears, Arctic Hairs, and Human Beings through out the world…

Bob Hunter has been saying for decades that this is happening – do people not take him seriously because he never changes out of his bathrobe?

What’s keeping every car company from offering alternative hybrid engines on all cars and lines? Why do we have to choose specific lines and models for it? It’s not like it’s a tough engine to implement- I mean; If Ford could do it…

I sometimes fear my generation will be the last generation that will live to see old age- and even then- I wonder if we’ll live that long.

All this and I’m neither an alarmist nor a worry wart.
