FWIW - because it's a 'divisive' issue? Rather would that the agency charged with administering the national resource begin charging the full social cost for the extraction of resources and apply that revenue to restoring the environment - many entry level jobs, for organized labor. It should be the cost of doing business, and the people can be brought together around that idea, rather than divided. It should be much easier to sell the idea of the government as a super-corporation, with the citizen a shareholder, than to argue for preserving environment at the expense of industrial jobs. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
