of our dear beloved planet, the end:
The Bush administration's action to open nearly a third of the nation's remote national forests to road building, logging and other commercial activity is being criticized by environmental groups and most Western states governors. Bryan Bird of Forest Guardians says it's a classic example of the Bush administration trashing democracy and trashing forests. The 58.4 million acres involved -- mainly in 12 western states -- had been put off limits to development by former President Clinton eight days before he left office in January 2001. Under existing management plans, some 34 million acres of these pristine woodlands could be open for road construction.
Yes it is the end. When the vast majority of untapped forest land in the US is suddenly opened to the extraction industries at a time when regulation and enforcement of their activities is at an all time low, we are on the verge of remaking the planet into the true hell of Max Headroom and Blade Runner. Alaskan coastlines, salmon streams, bear habitats, last vestiges of severely endangered species are all openned to the whims of developers craving the opportunities to sink exploratory explosives, strip away all topsoils and overlayers to expose possible minerals that then need to be blown out of the surface of the earth, we have signaled as a species that we are ready to give up on the planet, on feeding the people, on supporting any healthy sustainability of the oceans.
This behavior is rape, a vicious evil perpetrated in the name of dollars and euros and yuang. There is no intelligent use, wise use here. We may as well look at one another and see the blessings of liberty go by by with the forests as well.
