OP
crud
(608 posts)1. They didn't care when we
spent all that money invading countries because of terrorism. I think Cheney had a 1% doctrine where if there was a 1 percent chance of another 911 we had to invade. I would rate destroying the planet a much higher percentage then that, and always have felt like that. I grew up in Cleveland in the 60's when the river caught fire. Nobody now says we shouldn't have wasted all that money on air and water pollution.

spark the creation of the EPA.
