Scientists? What do THEY know about species depletion?

In another cunning move, the idiot king wants relax (read as 'get rid of') endangered species protection by cutting scientists and environmentalists out of the equation and leaving it up to, wait for it...

Developers!

That's right, those same developers that have snuggly connections with the government agencies, and whom I am sure will always act with the best interest of the health of the environment in mind, and whom will also act benevolently, get to make the call. Oh yeah, this decision also bypassed congress.

Just another republican decision geared towards helping big businesses and making a few choice political friends rich at any cost.

    Another addition to Bush's legacy of shit. I am still wondering why people ever voted for him, not to mention that he only went into office because of the failings of the american election system.

    Yeah, way to sell out future generations for some short-term gain.

    Life? Who needs it when we could have another strip mall instead? Oh yeah - and oil. Let's drill for oil on every square inch of land that's not already a strip mall or a parking lot.

    Can you blame them at $130 a barrel? If I could get a barrel a day out of my back yard I'd do it too.

    I am a bear. Please do not feed me.
    Whenever anyone mentions endangered species laws, all I can think of is that Screamapillar bit from the Simpsons. :)

    You know, it's true that the ESA was broken...but this is pretty much the opposite of the way it needs to be fixed. Grr.
