Bush is more a conservationist instead of a environmentalist when looking at his proposed forest management policy.

I'm all for allowing the lumber industry to harvest trees if they adhere to conservationist methods. What is lacking here though is a coherent policy towards polluters and the resulting toxic waste dumps created by them. If you look at post #30, you'll see what I mean..

I know about these dumps so to speak. You know, people were not aware of the problems these chemicals cause.

I remember my parents and my grand parents just dumping oil down the drain or on the lawn where they wanted to keep the weeds from growning. It just was not a big deal.

What we are doing today is appling our knowledge of these chemicals and using this to judge people from the past that did not have the benifit of this knowledge.

I hope people in the future will be kinder to us than you are being to them.
