I wonder if this is the communism that Whoopi Golderg admires so much. And where was the Sierra Club, ELF, and Greenpeace all those years that the commies were polluting the atmosphere?

And while they are at it they ought to take a look at the communist steel plant just outside Krackow Poland.

I saw it just after the Wall came down, and was disgusted by the filth in both the air and water for miles around it.

It impressed me so much I wanted to buy plane tickets for liberals I knew, just so they could take it in and talk to the "glorious" workers that had to live in the Clintonian wonderland of these liberals "dreams."

And there is the other edge. Eastern Europe and the ex-Soviet Union states still hosts many species of animals that are no longer existant in Westen Europe. Communism left horrendous pollution concentrated in certain areas and left much larger parts of pristine virgin territory.

I recall that a few years ago one of the biggest pollutors in Romania in the last decade was a US owned gold(?) mining company that built an artificial basin to hold the toxic exctraction chemicals out in the open. When the dam at one end burst, all related animals were killed for dozens of miles down stream. This was a case of the 'outside' taking advantage of lax saftey rules to maximise their profit, confident in the knowledge that the authorities were desperate for the $$$.

I wonder if this was Hillary's model for her book "It takes a Village?"

This has nothing to do with Communism. Yugoslavia had been communist for 50 years and our country -- apart from large urban areas -- is pretty much unpolluted. It's a matter of responsibility - if you take care of your sh*t, there shouldn't be any contamination/pollution problems. This has to do more with incompetence, carelessness, etc.

They are referred to as "useful idiots" for a reason...
