Why we can't wait another 4 years
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=589884

George Bush's new administration, and its supporters controlling Congress, are setting out to dismantle three decades of US environmental protection.

In little over a month since his re-election, they have announced that they will comprehensively rewrite three of the country's most important environmental laws, open up vast new areas for oil and gas drilling, and reshape the official Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

They say that the election gave them a mandate for the measures - which, ironically, will overturn a legislative system originally established by the Republican Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford - even though Mr Bush went out of his way to avoid emphasising his environmental plans during his campaign.

4. Oh, totally agree
This country will be completely ruined. They'll be running optical scan IDs on us too and putting us in orange jumpsuits just like those poor souls in Fallujah.

5. Waiting 4 more years
Is what will happen if all the smart people in US just consentrate on hating Bush and putting all hope in getting rid of him, instead of finding out what they can do themselves to make the situation better, instead of taking responsibility and action themselves.
