We use His holy decrees To do whatever we please... And as I think about it, with even eerier significance (this was written in 1971; thank you, Steven Schwartz, librettist for Godspell, who wrote most of the English lyrics for MASS):

God made us the boss;
God gave us the cross;
We turned it into a sword
To spread the word of the Lord.
We use His holy decrees
To do whatever we please…

They may not want us there, But, man, it's out of our hands...

To folks in faraway lands.

Instead of rewriting wetland legislation to allow building strip malls in fragile ecosystems, just redefine wetlands, (anything that can't be drained). To claim that manufacturing is doing well we redefine manufacturing to include McDonald's workers. To protect our forests from fire we redefine scrub brush, and downed wood to include virgin timber. No need to get worked up with new regulation, all that's needed is redefining the victim,,er, the object of regulation. Oh, to protect those endangered species, we are holding a prayer service to ask the Almighty to save one of his own creatures. If he can’t intervene, we ask as compensation, that we profit mightily. (Praise the Lord and Pass the Amunition). Hey, this has worked in other areas, why not here?

'robust viability'. That sounds suspiciously like 'robust deterrent capability'... Is it just me, or is this a strange new meaning of the word 'robust' (with or without the quotes) of which we have all been unaware? I always imagined robust as something adorning a female robot. But according to this administration, robust means 'non-existent'; or perhaps 'extinct' would be a closer rendition? I just noticed. ‘robust viability’.

And any species considered "extinct" certainly can't be "endangered". And woodpeckers are such a nuisance. And them's good eatin', especially them big ones with the ivory bills.

Boy, does that take me back. I sure do miss the days of Buckley and Agnew. It was a simpler, more naive time when the left thought those two were the anti-Christ. To paraphrase Gene Wilder in <i> The Corsican Brothers </i>, "Cutlture wars? Did you say Culture Wars? I'll show you Culture Wars!" “…those nattering nabobs of negativism…”
