Words mean things – or maybe not
Did you hear the latest 1984-esque, war-is-peace salvo from the Bush administration? New government rules that make it easier for logging companies to cut down trees without environmental studies are part of the adminstration’s “Healthy Forests Initiative.” It’s a plan that has been roundly criticized by not only environmentalists, but also firefighters. But say to the American public, “We’re passing a ‘Healthy Forests Initiative,” and they think, hey, maybe those Republicans aren’t so bad after all. They love trees!
Words have tremendous power, and this administration has been scarily talented in wielding that power, despite the borderline autism of The Prez.
They really have no shame, do they?
If they really loved the forests they’d let them burn as nature intended and not use this forest fire excuse for lining people’s pockets. Of course they’ll have a significant group of “potential victims” who support it after building their houses IN the forest, and now live in fear of these naturally occuring and quite common, FOREST fires.
I’ve used the word “Orwellian” numerous times to describe our doubleplusgood administration. Thank you for elaborating on the topic for those who aren’t familiar with the concept.
As has been said before: No forests = No Forest Fires.
Get it?
Also, breathing air will soon be sold directly over the counter for your convenience.
I testify that words mean things.
This administration has always been concerned about the environment. This administration has never been at war with Iraq. This administration has always been at war with Syria.
