Bush also want's to sell 300,000 acres of land including Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest a place I vist every year for no apparent reason. It will be sold to private developers for logging. The guys a loser.....
Someone needs to get this mother F'er out of the office. He is the dumbest piece of s**t I have ever known. Wants to destroy a forest that has lasted 1000s of years to help to build more schools that will ONLY benefit 5 years worth? Apparently science and social development were not on his school schedules.Do you think the democrats will stop this? Probably not. They are just as worthless as the president.
And make no mistake about this - the article says this is "to pay for rural schools"I'll say this once, very loud and clear for those in the back (perhaps we can stop this doublespeak once and for all)THIS IS TO PAY FOR *The War Effort*This is to pay for the atrocious mistakes, misgovernment and corruption that can be attributed to George W Bush and Dick Cheney. They are selling the national parks because they have spent all the education funding on killing innocent people in a violent aggressive act of war. Lets not mince our words any longer.
This is why wildfires are SUPPOSED to occur... to burn through the trees and start a new growth cycle. But no one lets nature do its thing anymore. So of course all the forests are "grossly overgrown".
That's a good point, actually. My in-laws bought 35 acres of national forest land in VA a while back. They can only develop one home and can only disturb 1 of the 35 acres. They haven't done a thing with the land except camp and hike on it.
For the clueless amongst us...... "In 2002, Congress provided the authority to sell a limited number of administrative sites. This authority was expanded in subsequent years (2003-2005) (P.L. 108-447, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, DIVISION E, Title III GENERAL PROVISIONS. Section. 322). To date, eleven sales have been completed. Additional properties will be offered for sale in 2005 and 2006 as public noticing and environmental analysis is completed by the local National Forest unit."Key words: Congress. Local. Also look here for an explanation as to why the sale was authorized by congress... <a class="user" href="http://wwwnotes.fs.fed.us:81/r4/payments_to_states.nsf">http://wwwnotes.fs.fed.us:81/r4/payments_to_states.nsf</a>One more thing: <a class="user" href="http://www.sierrainstitute.us/SecureRuralSchools.html">http://www.sierrainstitute.us/SecureRuralSchools.html</a>"A two-year, nine-state study by the Sierra Institute says it offers real hope for a "radical middle" in the contentious debate over how best to manage federal forestland."It's funny when the facts just don't fit your BS message eh?
So, why would Bush sell the land? it simple. The land would then be i private hands of developers of the NAFTA super highway. All part of the plan to create the North American Union.

While they're cutting the trees, can they cut down the bushes?
