Greene’s tenure was identified principally with pro- growth and business-friendly policies. Yet after George W. Bush became president, he appointed Greene to be a regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, where he oversaw federal environmental programs throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. These states have some of the nation’s most severe pollution problems, most of which are connected to petroleum, and thus of central interest to the Bush political clan—which has typically fought emissions controls.
The announcement of Greene’s EPA appointment, which required no Senate approval, cited no environmental accomplishments or related experience for Greene. It did note that his wife was founder and current director of the River Legacy Foundation, which created trails and a nature center along undeveloped portions by the Trinity River. But it failed to add that she had been named to that post by the city government that her husband ran. In 1997, then- governor George W. Bush appointed Mrs. Greene to the Trinity River Authority board of directors. It all raised the question: Why was a car dealer in charge of environmental protection efforts in a part of the country befouled by some of the most noxious emissions found anywhere?

Chile evacuates residents as volcano shows signs of erupting Endangered Freedom of Religion in America is Put to a Supreme Court Testas a group, American atheists scored higher than Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, or Mormons – or for that matter, any organized faith – in a survey of general religious knowledge and awareness. ....religion is a major factor in the lives of most of the world’s peoples and cultures, and the root of many disputes. U.S. foreign policy requires a depth of knowledge about the faiths of others, but Americans as a whole are woefully ignorant of both their own faith traditions and those of other cultures. ( I'm sure 'media' coverage has something to do with that. lol It has something to do with 'manufacturing' news to order. Why else would we still be hearing about the dangers of 'Islamic extremism' ? Yet Dominionism ? What's that ? ) At the time the Puritans landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620, the established Church of England that they left behind in disgust was entirely government controlled. “Being a Church of England parson essentially made you a government employee,” according to Thomas S. Kidd in USA Today (above). In Colonial America, the royal governor of Virginia licensed ministers. The first published writings of James Madison were letters of protest when the Virginia governor jailed Baptist ministers for preaching without a government issued license. Government entanglement with the affairs of religion – and vice versa – was one of the first American imports from abroad. So when framing the Bill of Rights and the first ten Amendments to the Constitution in 1791 – some 171 years after the Mayflower Pilgrims landed at Plymouth – James Madison and the other Founding Fathers of America took care to allow no government powers over religion, and no national denomination. The result was the concept of “freedom of religion” that is widely misunderstood by Americans today. Separation of Church and State was never meant to be a guarantee of freedom FROM religion as American atheists often claim. It was a guarantee of the “free exercise of religion” – the practice of religion free from government interference. Media Bias ExposedJames O’Keefe managed to get a camera into journalism class at NYU and ended up uncovering all kinds of interesting insights into how, say, the New York Times managed to help create Barack Obama as a viable presidential candidate. The Wall Street Journal, America’s esteemed and largest selling newspaper by circulation, has made a daring editorial decision to cover the We the People Petition to the White House to acknowledge an ET presence now engaging the planet. In light of a precedent setting on-line article by WSJ journalist Laura Meckler, there appears to be an unambiguous move by the ownership of the WSJ [News Corporation] to expose what the government may be withholding about the matter of extraterrestrials. Her article may represent the first real attempt in contemporary mainstream journalism to expose the US government’s wall of secrecy around the UFO/ET issue and reveal the powerful political and national security implications of the UFO/ET issue. Meckler wrote: “When the White House promised to answer citizen petitions on the most pressing problems of the day, it may not have had extraterrestrial life in mind.” In Meckler’s interview with Stephen G. Bassett – sponsor of the ET petition, Bassett said: “The fact is that there is an extraterrestrial presence. I know this because I’m familiar with the research and a couple of hundred government witnesses have come forward in the last couple of years. Acknowledging this E.T. presence is about open government.” ( Of course, if you asked in some quarters, the question might be more like our secret relationship with demons. Certainly my father, an ex-warrior priest with interesting tastes in literature, made a comment which sounded ominous when intoned by a survivor of air war flying out of the UK....where something like 90% of his gunnery school classmates died.

I was at a water-related conference in New Jersey some years ago and in the facility I found all the water fountains vandalized or posted with “out of order” signs. Numerous venders were there selling bottled water at 2x the normal price. Did I think there was a relationship between the price of bottled water and the lack of public fountains? You bet. On a recent trip to Switzerland I found public fountains and places to fill your water bottle in every public square in even the smallest towns.
