RE:"I'm concerned about the damage which which Bush has promised to do" I'm not sure what you mean here. For example he pretty much told California to handle their power problem themselves as they are the most familiar with it and the cause of it... Environmentally, what's wrong with the states mandating their own solutions? This is how California cleaned up their air in the seventies...as cars sold in California had to have cleaner burning engines... Now California will have to decide what kind of new power plants they want to build...or what surcharges they will stick on power bills to curb consumption. If you're fearful of drilling the AWR, I agree...but the public will not accept the alternative...they want cheap gas for those SUVs... Jim

Dear Scumbria: You seem to have a continuing problem with saying one thing and doing another. First you insult people with claims that are untrue. When shown to be in error, you either go off on a tangent totally unrelated to the original discussion, restate the errorneous statement, or blast the messenger. You claim to be against oil exploration and fuel waste, but drive a fuel hog of a SUV. You claim to be against government waste, but not when your party does it. You want a great life but, deny it to others. You heap criticism and derision on others but, can't take criticism yourself. You like policies that distribute money, as long as it is not yours. You need power but, do not want a power plant or high tension lines near you. You want wilderness but, not if it inconveniences you. You state that you do not want your kids to pay but, stop policies and reforms to do just that. I know you do not like to hear it but, you are part of the problem. I do not like all that George W. Bush does. I do not call him an idiot or moron because he does it. I am more interested in results, and actions. Results take time, Clinton had his time but, Bush is just starting. I do not like Bush Executive Order to ban money to abortion. I think it is wrong. The Faith and Community Office could be a good idea. The Church/State separation I think is taken to too far an extreme. So long as the program pays for those parts that are secular like drug treatment and not the teaching of the faith, it is ok given, that there is no discrimination against any faith (so long as the practice breaks no other laws and is tolerant of other faiths and atheists) or secular organization (same applies). Checking to make sure that separation is maintained is a good idea (as always a good checking scheme should be inexpensive in time and labor). Time will tell on the results of his administration. Pete
