Bush Seeks More State Say Over Federal Forests

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - State governors would gain more control over 
federal forests under a Bush administration proposal on Monday that 
environmentalists said would gut a Clinton-era rule to protect nearly 60 
million acres from logging.
The proposal, announced by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman in 
Boise, Idaho, would effectively exempt states from federal restrictions 
on logging and road construction in environmentally sensitive forest 
areas unless a governor identified specific lands to be protected.

----------
Bush is at it again!

This time this joker Bush is kissing up the lodging industry at the 
expense of the ecological balance, environmental preservation and 
stability, natural resource protection, and, above all, the 
sustainability and livelihood of resources important to human and wild 
life survivability.

The Bush administration, in consistent with its exploitive nature, is 
pulling a new political maneuver to exploit the forest by pushing for a 
new law that render greater vulnerability of the preservation of the 
national forestry resources to axes and greed of the lodging industry.

If the new law is passed, a corrupted governor (whose bank account is 
endowed by the timber industry) could easily and effectively single-
handedly chop down thousands of acres of trees. The proposal by Bush 
open an easy avenue for the timber industry to further get richer at the 
expense of large-scale environmental impacts.

Perhaps Bush should be the tree for dogs to piss on. Only then he might 
gain some understand of what it's like to be pissed on.
