Fast Track to Destruction

Congress has fast tracked legislation to cut energy transfer corridors through western federal lands disturbing National Parks and protected lands. This is another example of politicians reacting to election year jitters and short term public concern. As energy prices rise, pork-loving politicians and the Bush administration use the pain of the American consumer to push through legislation that can ultimately destroy thousands of acres of wild America, while at the same time fat-cat oil companies, bloated by obscene profits, use fake shortages and price spikes to frighten the public into subsidizing the rape of our protected nature preserves and natural treasures. Same old, same old.
