Grandpa..
Everyone is responsible for their own actions and they cannot blame anyone else PERIOD that is black and white without exception..
Some actions have consequences if the consequences of an action you choose to take are negative then you have chosen the negative consequence also.. In choosing an action with a negative consequence the negative consequence becomes what you desire. Period there is no way around that it's a caft of life and not open to debate thats just the way the world is..
Everyone makes value judgments in life. it cannot be avoided we do it a thousand times a day. Bush in choosing business over responsible enviromental practices has made his choice. He has chosen Business over salmon. The unintended consequences of that decision is that salmon will be harmed. That means by deffinition and fact of life that he would rather have salmon harmed than business to be responsible. That means he wants salmon harmed!! period!! thats it black and white very simple to understand.. it's a basic life principle the decisions you make have consequences. if you want salmon to thrive then you do not do things to harm them..

Thats a false argument... of course we all bear some responsibility in this and I would never deny that. HOWEVER... Bush is undoing something that society said we should do. Bush is saying that the water quality in the columbia does not matter.. This is not a power generation issue thus is a water quality issue!!!
