  Canucks

  Grist,

  Could you be a little more condescending when you speak of Canucks, please? We are so darn cute, we get all in a tizzy when people, especially 'mericans, treat us with too much respect.

  Oh, and could you also consider putting out a print publication? As most of us live in igloos, we have no access to Internet. However, we are willing to make the big trudge over to the big communal igloo to pick up our mail, which arrives once a month. If we found some Grist in our mailboxes, we would be just tickled pink.

  God save the Queen!

  Can't See the Forest for the Trees

  So. You think McCain is green? The guy who said "There will be more wars," and that America could be in Iraq for "100 years"?

  Ever hear of depleted uranium? It's what's in those munitions American has been bombing Iraq to hell with. Google "DU babies" and you'll see what little kids born contaminated with this shit look like. It ain't pretty, and oh, it isn't "green" either.

  I read an article where the writer cited soaring cancer rates and birth defects in Iraq--she went as far to say that the Iraqi people will be wiped out. What's more, this DU dust seems to be travelling, and not just to neighbouring countries. (I've heard said it has floated over to North America and Britain).

  Anyone who supports the war--any war--is not "green." You should know better.On Interviews and info on the presidential candidates' environmental positions posted 1 year, 10 months ago 53 Responses
