It's sad that anybody could take this view in light of the mountain of scientific data that confirms global warming and the geometric increase in the extinction of species caused by "man". This data has been produced by numerous scientists from around the globe, although it continues to be ignored by so many, including the Bush Administration and those folks with Plunker's mindset.

Never before in the history of the earth has one species caused the extinction of so many other species. There are so many examples of species that were once prolific that are now completely extinct from our planet, and still there are comments made like the one above. Are people really as blind as this comment makes them out to be?

When scientists and biologists produce reports that our oceans health and their fish are in rapid decline, when we witness our air and water quality spiral downward, when we as sport fishers witness declines in our andramous fish populations, when we witness the devastation caused by over harvest and exploitation, can their be any doubt that we're heading in the wrong way?

It is undeniably the greed, the arrogance, and the ignorance of the GOP that will continue this cycle of exploitation. Capitalism is not the same as democracy!

One must surely be ignorant of the world around them, or passified in the belief that this world is better and healthier today than it was before we exploited it. This is the belief that the Bush administration wants to convey to those who do not have the capacity to reason. It is this same limitation that will prevent those same people from voting Bush out of office in 2004.

If GW Bush was a fisherman, and Plunker was a fish, I'd say Plunker swallowed Bush's bait hook line and sinker...will that be one lump or two?
