You Deserve It

Remeber when people would walk outside because they wanted to get some "fresh air?" Well, forget about that. Even if you don't live in a major city, which something like 80% of us do, there's just no fresh air to be breathed. It's unfortunate, as several recent studies have shown that polluted air is doubling and trebling respiratory diseases worldwide, some of them fatal. But President Bush has re-declared his resolve to ignore any new initiatives to hold corporations accountable for the amount of carbon dioxide their plants pump out, in addition to his "whatever you want to spew out, go for it, as long as you've got a lobby" platform. CO2 is the most devastating contributer to global warming, a theory no longer realistically deniable. Bush's other policies are allowing industrial plants to fling enough toxic aerobic particles into our skies to turn us all into zombie media whores who'll gladly watch Ashlee Simpson riverdance her way into our collective subconscious. I suppose having three-fourths of the world's published scientists set against you is no obstacle as long as almighty god is telling you to ignore those thoroughly researched reports and bow low in subservience to your political contributers. After all, Gee Dub has been making national policy decisions based on political priorites for three years, so why stop just because you've been reelected? He could always run for Senate. And there are the political futures of his siblings and offspring to worry about.
