Shortsighted men ... in their greed and selfishness will, if permitted, rob our country of half its charm by their reckless extermination of all useful and beautiful wild things. -- Theodore Roosevelt. * * * thenation.com Even those of us familiar with this Administration's record can be shocked when someone pulls us back to show us the big picture. The March/April 2004 issue of the Sierra Club's magazine (which, vexingly, isn't available on-line yet) takes a look at what George W. Bush has been doing with our public lands. The article, "Our Great Estate," notes that Teddy Roosevelt preserved for the public 240 million acres -- while the Bush Administration has weakened protections on 234 million of those acres. Under the headline "The Big Bite," the article sports a graphic of the United States -- minus Texas and Oklahoma. Sierra Magazine reports, "The Bush Administration has already opened an area larger than Texas and Oklahoma combined to logging, mining, and oil extraction."
