Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's opening statement during the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming hearing, "Approaching Midnight: Oversight of the Bush Administration's Last-Minute Rulemakings" on December 11, 2008.
Ethel is there to cheer her third born and second son on in his battle for the Environment. I remember his Dad fighting for some of the same things, If he had been listened to then, we would not have to repeat the lesson. How many more times will those lessons have to be repeated. How many more Kennedy jr's will have to stand up for the people???? Wake up, America. Let's get it right this time. Big business wants to shut him up. Please, don't let them.
MTR causes poverty and disease. WV is # 2 in kids respiratory diseases, 2nd for lung cancer in men & fourth for women, 10th in depression, poorest state, shortest life expectancy, 1 in 6 on food stamps, 16% college, etc. Highest on the negative list and lowest on the positive list. If it were a third world country, we'd be falling all over ourselves to help.
As always, though, even in the best of times that we've had in this country (especially - but not exclusively - regarding the environment), there is still a incredibly dense insensitivity in the population toward the environment. It basically doesn't see the environment as "part of itself," and thus can never feel a compelling need to protect and nuture it.
Unless and until that fundamentally changes, you can never really, truly win.

RK's presentation is top-notch, as always.

This was great, but I think he said it better in that speech he gave at Boulder Colorado. Search on "Crimes angainst Nature".
We've gotta stop this legislation that Bush is trying to push thru at the last minute. Call your congressmen!!!
