what happens when we allow pollutants into the environment? people die. what happens if we don't? plants close. jobs are lost. people go hungry. obviously we should not pollute the environment, right? it's better to have hungry people than to have dead people, right? well, the bush administration has consistently allowed more poisons to be dumped into our water, land, and air. i was wondering how this could possibly be rational. then it hit me with depressing certainty: dead people don't vote. hungry people vote against you. the political gain has become obvious.
