<But you guys here are a lot more creative. You invent things that I have no power to match with my lack of creativity, and tendency to stick to the facts. You (plural) talk about your make believe world as it it was real. That's where I find the parallel with my daughter.>

You're right, Joe. The environment is doing great. There is no global warming. CO2 ... who cares. Alaska, screw em. Forests, pave thru the parks. Arsenic, we'll develop an immunity to it. Why make businesses spend money on being environmentally responsible - they'll do it on their own. Public schools would be better off if we take money from them, and fund private and religious schools - who needs a division between church and state? We didn't need those areas Clinton protected, those could be shopping malls! National debt is good - we don't need to pay it off, family friends of Bush's own most of it, and we get to pay the interest. That's ok.

Joe,

The fact that something makes you uncomfortable does not have any bearing on whether or not it is true.

Joe.. I just wanted to congratulate Bush and the Republicans on uniting the entire world against the US.. I never thought Bush had it in him to something so monumental... He now has a legacy of creating the most anti-US sentiment ever by a US president.. as well as global warming and destruction of the world environment.
But hey...Bush's friends - the mining/coal and oil industry, all get to make a few extra dollars by not having to put those troublesome environmental controls on their practises and plants.. and Bush and they will all be dead by the time the environment completely goes down the tubes.. so who cares eh?

On the slightly negative side for Bush.. I see now he may not have the votes in the Senate to drill in the ANWR... so now he may be "forced" to buy more Canadian natural gas and any undiscovered oil we may have in the NWT... even is offering to help explore for more.. what a nice guy.. As long as he doesnt get the idea we're going to explore in OUR parks.. I dont mind if we sell him that, if it keeps him out of the ANWR.

Of course.. if I were the Canadian government.. I'd tell him we'd be more then happy to sell him oil and gas.. provided he stop his punitive action against Canadian lumber.
