Survey: Why Not Bail Out the Enviroment Instead of the Banks?

Stephen Brooks writes today in TreeHugger "I am honestly tired of hearing about the bailout of our financial system.

All I hear these last couple of weeks is the great fear people are having for the loss they are seeing in their pensions and 401K’s. What about to the hundreds of species that go extinct every year and the human languages and cultures that are rapidly disappearing succumbing to modern ways? Does our society have its priorities straight?"
