EDITORIAL ‘Environmental’ Bush fails title miserably Question of the election year Will he or won't he? Will ho or won't he make a double talking campaign pledge — again — that is. Which "he" are we referring to here? Our environ mental president, of course. If you recall. George Hush labeled himself the "on vironmental president" .during the last election cam paign held in IftHH Whether he was hoping America would forget that promise the day after his inaugura tion no one can sav. but Hush h.is failed miserably in fulfilling that tag during his presidency. Desperate for this year's presidential votes, he's again shown his true colors b\ t ailing off the hulk of the country's environmental protection measures in an effort to jump-start our sagging economy. Now. the man is hesitant over whether to attend this year's "Earth Summit" to be held in Hra/.il The summit aims to address the world's environmental problems via sustainable resource use and various on vironmental management strategies On one hand, it would look polite ally great should Hush go to the mimting; on the other, however, Bush, along with the United States, would no doubt get a big ol' hand slap/scolding lor their failure to partn ipate in the international effort to resolve the pending natural crisis Even worse, the meeting's leaders would probably want a commitment of some sorts from the United States, asking for such ridiculous things as our taking responsibility lor our share of the big mess. G'mon now, that's just asking too much So poor George is in a tough spot hooking environ mentally correct vs actually acting environmentally correct; two totally different animals Hush has so far chosen only to look the part, and poorly one might add. It's too late We've already seen through our envi ronrnent.il president Should he hope to garner these votes by a summit appearance, he'd better think again. It yvill take more than near pretenses and i brims to re store the environmental faction of voter confidence in the president Emerald PO ftOl)tS9 I l)GEN£ OHfcGON 97403 I’-o Ou^V' [ it y | 'f'WtwJ t% ftAkCkty » '•July g "m v »IW .vx} I o-wUry ;v«!
