PREFACE TO "CRIMES AGAINST NATURE"

this is to introduce a long 5-part article about environmental crimes perpetrated by the administration and the Dept. of Defense.  i began the day by reading the email from Bush GreenWatch which i mention in the next entry. it filled me with such rage and despair that i really didn't know what to do. what i did was spend the day writing the series of entries following.  it eased my feeling of helpless despair, but it will only matter if it finds readers in you, the guests who visit this journal. it will only matter if you join with RFK, Jr., with the members of NRDC, EarthJustice, Environmental Defense, Friends of the Earth, Defenders of Wildlife, etc., to take action to stop these depradations.  the links on my sidebar under "Environment/Conservation" will take you to many of these organizations. 

my love for this earth is boundless, but i am past middle-age, my time left here is obviously limited.  for all our children, what will be left?  we are burning down our house, sinking our only ship.  read it, and weep.  and then, let's get to work.

(Five part series "Crimes Against Nature" follows below.)

I couldn't agree with you more! Why do you think Bush is so hot to colonize Mars? Because he's dedicated himself & his administration to sucking the lifeblood out of this planet! It makes me so angry! Thanks for sharing your passion!
