The first thing when I think of Bush giving our national parks a make over is cement.

Only for businesses really.

the failures of bush on the environment.

please explain which portions of the article are most exciting to you, as it really doesn't say much of anything. bush is requesting a list of improvements to be made, yet no money has yet been allocated, and previous promises to maintain even regular maintanance have been brushed aside.

Only for businesses really.

when suggesting environmental policy, isn't it wise to consider the environment before business?

yeah, because articles like 'college republicans want beach parties to mock global warming' is really something to bash the bush admin about...find a less biased site eh?

If by avid outdoorsman you mean clearing brush on his ranch... it sounds as if he wants a massive brush clearing operation.

We should abolish national parks anyway. (Not the actual woods, but there shouldn't be anything such as a "national park.")

the site has a wealth of information on what bush has actually done, not what he says he is going to [not] do. you've picked one article of hundreds.

you've suggested i offer a less bias site, then offer whitehouse.gov?

I never said anything against state parks.

silly libertarians.

what? Thats a blanket statement to make about a president who's done more for energy, pollution and other aspects of the environment than the previous 2 presidents combined.
