After an absence of four years, foam plastic coffee cups have returned to the coffee shop of the U.S. Congress building after the current congress began reversing a series of in-house green initiatives instituted by the former congress. Apparently the members of the new congressional majority have decided that lowering the congress’ carbon footprint is not worth the extra money.

What the *%#& is wrong with these people?

I am so sick and tired of hearing politicians proselytizing about “robbing from our grandchildren” when referring to money that funds any program that they are against politically, while at the same time sabotaging all attempts to leave the legacy of a clean environment to those very same grandchildren. Hundreds of dolphin carcasses have been found in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. NOAA scientist Blair Mase, said that the necropsies already performed on the dolphins indicate that they died from "something environmental" that took place in the past year.

DUH!

I wonder how much money will be spent trying to figure out what event that might have been… and who will expose those congressman and senators who mortgage our grandchildren’s food supply by taking money from the oil companies and pushing for off shore deep water drilling rather than funding green energy options?

It’s disgusting. It’s hypocrisy. It’s got to stop.

Money comes and goes. Clean air and water once gone, doesn’t come back. Apparently that method of robbing the future is too difficult for our representatives to understand.The least they could do is stop feigning concern for our grandchildren's futures.
