it's very easy to talk about environmental concerns while times are good like they are now, but watch that focus disappear if times get tough.
Very true Timmy....
That's one of the reasons I'm so disappointed with the current government...
This country (indeed the world) has had a decade of the best economic times in at least 60 years....
We've been flush with money..... have they acted to address environmental questions of climate change, general pollution, alternative energy research........ nooo.... not to any real degree of commitment anyway...
Have they address critical shortfalls in infrastructure in this country, like national roads, fast rail links, general overhaul of the rail freight network, hospitals (we all know the forthcoming demand with an aging population), universties and schools, the skills crisis in general etc etc....
No...... instead they've spent $3 billion on searrching for WMDs that weren't there, winning the hearts and minds of a population that doesn't want us there, flattening the infrastructure of a country instead of rebuilding it etc.... and heightening the growth of terrorism while lessening the security of our own country
Spent $300 million plus on advertising and defending legislature that they didn't campaign on and which noone wants or benefits from etc etc ...
And they call that good economic mangement
I call it a betrayal of both this country and our childrens future.
And yep.... we're going to be able to fix all the problems we know are going to come up in the near future if the worlds economies go bad, or if the demand from China suddenly drops significantly....
Just who's kidding who here !
