Bush allows roads to be cut into national forests and
they claim he caved to the loggers.
Meanwhile large chunks of the West burn every year
because there's no way to get in and clear out dead
trees and create fire lines. What's the answer?
I hear wildlife in Anwar would benefit from drilling
but environmentalists claim the opposite.
How about the fact that we can't build oil refineries
because of environmental impact but everyone driving
there SUVs complain when gas prices go up.
Speaking of SUVs, how about we classify them as cars
and make everyone pay the sin tax? That will hurt a
lot of car manufacturers because they don't make money
on the smaller cars. One good thing is if they are
classified as cars they can't use the parkways on Long
Island and traffic would be so pleasant :)
