Thank you, manbird. Done and done.

What a freakingly bad legacy he's leaving. All of that power and opportunity, and he's using it to make our world a staggeringly worse place. My mind can't even grasp what happens in his soul that makes it seem not only acceptable to consider, but the actual plan of choice, to cut restrictions in ways that will leave lasting holes in our future.

All year long, we've been worried that last minute plans by the Bush Administration
that would undermine the integrity of the Endangered Species Act.

Well, they've finally done it. The Bush Administration enacted a last-minute ruling,
which cuts U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service scientists out of the review process for
determining if new mining, logging and construction projects pose a threat to endangered animals.
What this really means is that political appointees, not scientists, will determine what poses a risk
to endangered animals.

what can you possibly have against this book? It seems to address things that you have expressed concern for.

I'm for environmental controls. I recognize that the human race is quickly making our planet unlivable to us and other animals. What I object to is that there is a cultural precept that if he's a Kennedy, then his opinions are more important simply because of his relationship to a martyred father and uncle.

It's a cultural non-sequiter to me.

That's all I was saying.

Hey, fine if you feel that way, I guess. But he's not a politician--at least, in the sense that he neither holds nor seeks a political office. All he's done is spend the better part of a long legal career trying to protect the environment from pollution, misuse, and misguided government "regulation."

Environmental baseline? A dam? Damn, those fish had better learn to walk in a hurry. "The government announced a new environmental baseline today, when the last tree in the nation was chopped down."

Any bets on how long til creationism crawls into textbooks nationwide?

Any bets on how long til the US invades Canada for its resources?

As flow of salmon surges, US moves to cut protections

Critics say federal plans favor dams

By Jessica Kowal, Globe Correspondent ÃÂ |ÃÂ September 19, 2004

SEATTLE -- With salmon returning to Pacific Northwest rivers in bountiful numbers not seen since the 1960s, the Bush administration has moved aggressively this election season to roll back policies designed to help the fish survive passage through the region's huge hydroelectric dams.

In a series of announcements this year, federal fish agencies, which have spent billions of dollars to protect salmon from dams under the Endangered Species Act, essentially sided with power producers over environmentalists on what steps need to be taken to protect the fish.

Most recently, the National Marine Fisheries Service, which oversees protection of salmon, released a plan Sept. 9 that would end years of debate about whether to breach four dams on the lower Snake River.

Fish biologists for decades have singled out those dams for causing the near extinction of several salmon species in the river. But the new federal policy states flatly that dams will be viewed as ''part of the environmental baseline" that the fish, with human help, must adjust to.

thanks for the heads-up. he's done some great work over the years - actually fighting for the environment, rather than just giving it lip-service like most politicians (regardless of their party). looking forward to checking this one out.

and btw, you can read the original article that was published in Rolling Stone a year or so back for a sample:

I've heard Robert Jr. speak numerous times (on radio & CSPAN) and he is very good and very sincere. In fact he's part of a great program on Air America that airs on Saturdays, 6-7:00 EST.

A new book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Crimes Against Nature is ultimately about the corrosive effect of corporate corruption on our core American values -- free-market capitalism and democracy. It is about an administration, the author argues, that has sacrificed respect for the law, public health, scientific integrity, and long-term economic vitality on the altar of corporate greed. It is a book for both Democrats and Republicans, people like the traditionally conservative farmers and fishermen Kennedy represents in lawsuits against polluters. "Without exception," he writes, "these people see the current administration as the greatest threat not just to their livelihoods but to their values, their sense of community, and their idea of what it means to be American."
