Showcasing the Most Ignored Story Yet

You can guess what it is. It's the environment. It's been completely ignored by all the powerhouse media, not counting the home video of the latest tornado. Ignored. Completely.

Yanno, it's almost Christmas. I know there are meteorological reasons why there have been tornadoes this last week or so. But god damn. It's November. I would think that tornadoes in November would warrant a little more attention than, say, the updates on Natalie Holloway. Silly me.

But then, today, there was this:

"Yellowstone bears to lose protected status
Move could clear the way for hunting

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hunters eventually could be allowed to kill grizzly bears in three states if the government is successful in removing federal protections."



The government says there are 3 times the number of bears now than there were 30 years ago. So let's go shoot 'em, bygawd.

Stories like this make me physically ill. Those in power have done so much damage to the environment, to animal habitats, have been so pro-business and pro-development, and the damage is only starting to become clear. We all know how dangerous these people are with regard to war, but the environment has just been left in the dust. Sometimes I feel powerless to do anything. All I can do it point out the incoherent sleaziness with which they operate on all fronts. And hope that someone stops these things from happening. It's a dream, I know, but it's mine.

Anyway, now maybe we can take up the fight to arm bears. Shitbags of liberty.
