Information is being withheld from Congress and the public people by the GW Bush administration. The GW Bush administration delayed the formation of a 9/11 Commission for two years, then stonewalled it, then blacked out 28 pages having to do with Saudi Arabia where most of the terrorists came from, and then then, after insisting the commission dismantle before finishing its work, decided to delay its report until after the November 2004 election.

Plastic is not biodegradable. Plastics takes water out of our environment and trap it in plastic. The only way to release the water is by burning the plastic, causing harmful gases to be released. Plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces and is floating suspended in our oceans now.

Privatization of Public Lands

The Bush Administration lifted restrictions and has encouraged privatization of public lands. The system through which we give away land to these multinational corporations amounts to a large public subsidy. Foreign owned corporations seem to be reaping the rewards -- in direct contridiction to the intent of 130 year old mining law being exploited for this purpose. About 20 percent of the mineral wealth of the Western United States is now controlled by foreign corporations.

Civilization will collapse if the Bush race to deplete oil resources continues. Oil is needed to develop alternative energy sources. A gusher of government giveaways to the oil industry mean that alternative energy cannot complete on a level playing field to gain a foothold. This administration's economic and environmental policies spell disaster for our economy and modern civilization.
