    ***  A few more recent actions I've read about were a deliberate 
disassembling of the Clean Air Act, torpedoing the roadless bill, and 
fighting for an annual invasion of buzzing, smoking snowmobiles in the 
Yellowstone wilderness. Rangers at the entrance where the snowmobiles gather 
have to wear respirators and have air supplied to their booths. I'm sure 
screaming snowmobiles were not in the plans of the park's founders. The 
stormers simply see this as part of their public park access rights. 
Yesterday I read a post on AT-L about airborne particulates causing a 
decrease in annual rainfall with worldwide ramifications.

     What gets to me Jim is your overall attitude of cynical support by way 
of discrediting your opponent without really directly addressing the issues. 
How can you, basically, show strong support for increasing air pollution in 
the middle of a record drought that could very possibly be the direct result 
of those policies? Does focusing on the failures of the opposing party do 
anything to solve this? 

     I know you won't answer this, but if you did, please just answer how the 
three examples I mentioned work for the environment? This is probably another 
one of those underhanded and diabolical things the government does that you 
don't agree with, but you'll tolerate because you know the real story and if 
people woke up there would be a reckoning where all this proved right. 
Geesh...

    Let's deal directly, without the sanitizing, self-excusing 
rationalizations, on what these actions entail and which administration 
vigorously endorses them in these critical times. Jim won't answer, but he 
would probably endorse downplaying global warming, this drought, the funky 
winter, and general environmental decline in order to support a regressive 
administration and its pitiful, corrupted objectives...
