zonk, Bush is the only Governor to make any attempt at all to bring any of the older, established, industrial sites into compliance. Having been a Texas since January, 1942, I know of their power, and tenacity, in avoiding anything that will conflict with their profit motive. At least, Bush has made a try, which is more than can be said of any Demo Governor of this state.
Gore is as much, if not more, a danger to the environment. Just because he wrote a book, it does not prove that he is willing to do any of the things he put in the book. He grows tobacco for profit. That product pollutes the lungs of human beings, and he profits from it. He is a stooge for Occidental Oil, which is as bad a polluter as any other oil company, but Gore pockets their money with glee.
Any change by and politician will take time. At least Bush has spent some time trying to make a start in the political arena. All Gore did was write a book. Big damned deal!!!
I am still against any business that creates unnecessary pollution, regardless of what state they may be in, or who might be Governor. That does not change my preference as Bush for President. Pollution is only one of the very many concerns for the next President to take under consideration, and IMO Bush is a better man to handle the "hard" issues than Gore. All Gore wants, is to be liked by everybody. He doesn't have the guts to make the difficult decisions that will probably need to be made. The only thing really important to him, is a photo-op. ~H~ |
