Bush Administration Lies About Environmental Causes of Katrina Flooding

More preposterous claims from the Bush disinformation machine about the causes of flooding in New Orleans surfaced recently, as the lying scum in charge of our government try to pin the blame on environmentalists.

Stories about environmentalist groups blocking the plans for levee building along Lake Ponchartrain and the Mississippi River are filtering out of the administration. But as you can see by reading the article, they're counting on the apathy of the common citizen to such matters to hide the fact that they're using this tragedy to try to slam those who would improve our world at what they feel is the cost of the success of big business.

Interestingly, I read an article in Outside Magazine today that was an excerpt from Yves Chouinard's new book on the business history of his company, Patagonia. He states quite clearly that each time they took the time to make one of their business practices more environmentally responsible and sustainable, they had even more success. In fact, the average increase in profits after changing product lines to use better materials and such was twenty percent. So the myth of environmentally sound business practices costing jobs and profits is shown over and OVER to be a myth.

Hey, businesses: Stop watching Fox News and pay attention to what's really going on.
