   never ending storyAhh, yes, but how long will it last? Longer than a New Year's resolution? I think not. We will be fighting this battle as long as the GOP has a majority. The battle over the Arctic Refuge, the ESA, EPA regulations and enforcement will not end until their majority ends. Will the Democrats get a spine and campaign on environmental issues? Have the American public been paying attention to what the majority party has been up to? The media certainly hasn't covered it. Maybe we can win over the de-humanizing budget cuts they have pushed through- maybe there is time for people to see what happens when you ignore the needs of the working class and reward the privilaged few with money earned with labor of the poor.
   Should we vote Green or Democrat this time? Ahh, it won't matter- they'll create another terrorist event to distract voters from any domestic issue. Only the GOP can keep us free!

   Cheer UpBirdboy, the definition of an environmental victory is when you preserve something so that you can fight for it in the future.  The only way that we won't have to continually fight for places is if they've already been destroyed.  Since the advent of civilization, there's always some jerk who wants to destroy natural areas for profit, comfort, or some other illegitimate reason.
