Wow,

Colbert never ceases to amaze me with his wit and satire. He made Lutz look really bad on national television!

Bush's appointment

When will democrats take responsibility for the supreme courts appointment of GW in 2000?

Please stop using Nader as the scapegoat for your loss in 2000. In 2004 as a strategy to combat 3rd party candidates the 2 party system made it more difficult for Nader and others to get on State ballots. Which, obviously didn't work out in the democrats favor. Another option might have been that democrats could have built a campaign that included the issues and values of the unrepresented 3rd party voters. Maybe another 4 years of republican rule will convince democrats that they only have themselves to blame. one last cynical point 3rd party candidates actually represent the people where as the two party system primarily represents the special interests that financially support their campaigns.  So thereOn Ralph Nader criticizes Obama and McCain for not standing strong against offshore drilling posted 1 year, 2 months ago 19 Responses

but, they are trying...

Wal-mart has been developing strategies to fulfill their sustainable initiatives. They have been working w/ ACT NOW Productions and Adam Werbach to train every single Wal-mart store employee on sustainable development by 2009, that includes approximately 1 million people, plus the rural communities that most of the stores are in. I know that they have reached out to the Natural Step, one of the very few organizations with a comprehensive framework for assessing and planning for sustainable development, as well as, a track record of working with businesses and communities. My point is, we are expecting one of the largest corporations on the planet to become sustainable overnight, when they have to unlearn their business as usual mindset, while at the same time learn all there is to know about sustainable business practice. Lee Scott can't win, he goes public with a far-reaching sustainable vision for his company and gets booed and then admits that he is not their yet and is told, I told you so. We are all victims of the quick fix, short term mindset. This is a collective effort, and we should recognize that Wal-Mart is trying. Full Disclosure: I do not work or shop at wal-mart and I am fully aware of their contribution(s) to an unsustainable society) I am just trying to offer a perspective of how can we serve them rather than to always make them the villain.On CEO settles the debate over whether Wal-Mart is green posted 1 year, 8 months ago 4 Responses
