Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Why is EVERYTHING urgent? I usually ignore EVERYTHING preceded by the word URGENT because it takes far too long to get to the core of the issue. Oh, and I've counted this identical posting from the same account from exactly the same minute and seconds -- on over forty lists already -- no list of which is related to any of the other lists. And yes, George W. Bush IS bad news for Americans, the world, animals, and the ecosystem. And true, Al Gore didn't do much for the ecosystem, but as bad as he was, he didn't do as much damage as GW Bush is likely to do. msc At 06:25 PM 4/23/01 -0500, Humanity wrote: > PRESERVE 60 MILLION ACRES ROADLESS > PRISTINE FORESTS. > >PLEASE REQUEST PRESIDENT BUSH TO IMPLEMENT >THE ROADLESS AREA CONSERVATION RULE. > >BUSH MAY MAKE DECISION AS SOON AS May 4th, 2001 > >Dear Caring Friend , > >The Bush Administration is now considering whether or not to >implement the Roadless Area Conservation Policy. >They may make a decision as soon as May 4th, 2001. >Now is the time to raise your voice! > >The Roadless Area Conservation Policy is one of the most popular >and balanced conservation policies in history.
