Status: offline 		It looks like one of the victims of the budget crisis might be the ESA, with funding for the listing of new species virtually removed. I guess nothing says America to conservatives like paving over nature and driving species to extinction. Fortunately, a number of conservatives, including the tea party darling from my district are actually opposing this, so they aren't all bad. As for the rest of them, where are their values? Does the preservation of nature and natural beauty in this country mean anything?

This is just the start

Until its too late and then they will whine "but we didnt know" a bit like BP.
By then its too late

Here is proof. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/04/africa_polluting_nigeria/html/1.stm

Norm Dicks (D-WA) successfully led a revolt against the Republican leadership of the House of Representatives, stripping a provision in the FY 2012 Interior and Environment appropriations bill that would have blocked the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from listing new species under the Endangered Species Act" 

The vote already happened

Not really, but that is not the point. There are lots and lots pf species' that are already extinct. Wanna bring some back like velociraptors ? We are lucky we ain't extinct. But then we are heading for it.

Status: offline 		C'mon, guys! According to some here, we should strive to be more like China, that bastion of outsourcing and business opportunity! They are so much more receptive to corporations, creating a more 'big business friendly' situation, without all those onerous and unnecessary environmental protection laws. 

Just think, in a few years, if we pay our cards right, these pictures could be taken the US:

Take a good look, folks, then tell me how much of a shit big business gives if they fuck up the environment, and the people in it, in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
