should be considered an expert on such things?

OK, I can't watch this, but had to comment... Things like this make me indescribably angry (literally). But I wanted to say that this just shows how sick and perverted many Republicans now are. I have been watching the PBS Ken Burns series "National Parks: America's Best Idea. It is amazing how many of the parks came about because some of the extremely wealthy in the country threw themselves and their fortunes into the efforts to preserve some of the American wilderness. They had a nobility about them that the crass, foul, fools that now run the part lack.
This also supports my theory that the modern republican party is now just a group that is against those not like them. They have no consistent ideology or platform other than to oppose "them". As Rachael Maddow showed when she asked an Alaskan demonstrator what Obama had done to restrict guns and he couldn't say. It wouldn't matter. He could send every family in the country a gun and ammo and the NRA would still say there was something wrong. He could personally cause the extinction of 10 endangered species and they would still hate him. Remember how loudly they all screamed that we weren't the world's policemen when Clinton went into the Balkans?
We are simply faced with a group of angry, irrational people that sadly aren't deranged enough yet to forget to vote. Combined with a group of "undecideds" who make up their mind based on appearances and 30 second sound bites.

Whether it's this clown or Walker in Wisconsin, I have it figured out.

Only rich, prosperous nations with no needs deserves a clean healthy environment.

Note the excuses for environmental devastation are always that we need the coal, oil, gas, etc. If we need it then regardless of the pollution, health consequences or environmental damage, we must get it.

Please note that living things are completely optional to these fat cats and simple minded bastards.

Greed is good. Living things a nuisance!

This part isn't correct: "If we need it" It's not a matter of needing, so much as wanting. So your sentence should start out: "If there's a buck to be made off it..."

There's a market for it - sure enough. But "need" insists we've GOT to have it - which in this case, we don't. This "doctor" SAYS we need it, when he's really covering for the oil companies that greedily want to make a buck off of it.
