Oregonian,

If you'd vote for Teddy Roosevelt in a light second, how on God's green earth could you vote for Bush?

Roosevelt established the national park system. Bush wants to take it apart and let his wealthy friends sell us each an opportunity to use our land a day at a time.

Roosevelt valued public wildlife. Bush is trying to destroy the land that supports it.

If I recall correctly, I think Roosevelt supported anti-trust legislation to better preserve capitalism. Bush supports concentrating wealth in the hands of his "have-mores" friends.

How about this: maybe Congress should use the anti-trust act to divide these half dozen oil companies that are using the power of oligopoly to create their wealth, into about two dozen separate oil companies that actually would have to compete with one another for the public's business?

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
