Supreme Betrayal
The National Association of Home Builders being to nature what the US Chamber of Commerce is to human rights, we were not surprised in the least to see them hammering away at the foundation of the Endangered Species Act. Having caught on videotape a White House emissary of Papa Bush endorsing industry-backed violence against Indians and other environmental activists, we are likewise not shocked by the emissaries of Baby Bush on the Supreme Court as they hand the final nail in the coffin of endangered species to the developers who made their lives so tenuous in the first place.
This will, of course, ensure the vigilantes of the building industry have ample opportunity to act out their fantasies of aggression against defenders of nature. After all, when the highest court in the land is on your side, it's hard not to feel a little feisty.
