  Don't Be Hating

  My house is clean.  No roaches. No fauna. Hardwood floors.  Sweep them everyday.  I keep the dust down by dusting (I have a respirator). I welcome an EPA inspection.  And if I am found wanting, then MY BAD.

  Although I inherited asthma from my father and my son has inherited it from me, we can keep our abodes as clean as we want but we cannot go outside in the summertime because of smog.

  Where is the love EPA? I know you do not have the power to REALLY enforce the Clean Air Act.  I know that if you threaten building permits and road building, Congress will spank you.  So let the states continue to write their fictions (State Implementation Plans) while you blame the victim for the disease.  I notice you moved out of the Waterside Mall and it had air issues.  With an $8 billion per budget, maybe you should pay for some maid service for us instead of talking about the problems at so many conferences.

  But I take responsibility for my asthma.  I just wish you would take real responsibility for our air.  Where is the love?

  Refusal

  Adrained,

  The Sierra Club's brief email did not really represent a response to our survey.  It was a dismissal.  We posted it because it was better than nothing.  

  Mike says they are being attacked from the Right.  Is that the Buchanan Right or the Bush Right?  I think if they close their borders they will need a scapegoat.  Why not blame it on a coup from the right?  I guess it is as good an excuse as any.

  Sierra Club Bullied?

  Mike,

  I just find it hard to believe that this is an insurgency from the right.  Why is this virtually the only area where the Sierra Club gnashes its teeth.  Look at so many other areas where the monolith is in lock step.

  If you are right, let's hope the marines in the Sierra Club will put down this uprising.

  Deep Ecology Xenophobes

  The Sierra Club members pushing this agenda are afraid that Mexicans might take up space from some of the critters and flora they worship.  Keep the Browns out, keep the Blacks in their place and Sierra Clubbers promoting so-called population control are happy.  Heaven forbid a Latino or Latina should use up any resources that could go to more important plants and animals.

  Such arrogance.  Such xenophobia.  Such Paganism.  Such elitism. Such racism.  Oops, I said it.  But don't get me whining.

  This is why the Sierra Club refuses to complete our Diversity Survey: www.aaenvironment.com/EnviroGroupReportCard.htm

  Cape Wind Shows Some Green Hypocrisy

  When the rubber meets the road, greens do not give the holy grail of wind power its due.  Where is the outpouring of support for this groundbreaking project?  I testified at the environmental impact statement hearing sponsored by the Army Corp of Engineers back in the winter: www.aaenvironment.com/CapeWind.htm  

  Where were the big time multimilliondollar groups?  Nowhere to be found.  The groups have put a little piece on some of their web sites but did not take the important time to go to that hearing and support this project.  Our little bitty African American Environmentalist Association supported the project for the same reason we support nuclear power.  It is emission free in terms of smog and global warming.

  The full multibilliondollar might of the entire environmental movement should be behind this project. Maybe the prominent landowners along the ocean front have influenced this debate.  You know who I am talking about.  And this when some of these same people support a bioterror lab right in the Black section of downtown Boston.

  And you wonder why we whine.  We are given much to whine about.
