Federal Judge Overturns Bush Sonar Waiver for Navy
Here’s a bit of good news.
LOS ANGELES, California, February 4, 2008 (ENS) - A federal court today struck down a waiver issued by the White House that would exempt the U.S. Navy from complying with environmental law during sonar training exercises off southern California.
Sonar kills whales. It causes whales to bleed from their ears and eyes. It is illegal to use sonar in whale habitats, but Bush wanted to exempt the Navy (those using sonar the most) from any restrictions, evoking threats to national security and patriotism.
Frankly, I’d rather live in a world with whales, not one that deliberately and systematically destroys them.

Seriously though, hasn’t Bush seen Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? Jeesh!

This is heartening. I’m not surprised that that fucktard Bush wanted an exemption for the navy.
This whole humans-are-gods-we-have-dominion-and-can-do-whatever-we-want-to-animals-and-the-earth thing is getting way out of hand. I hate that belief system. Hate it with every molecule of my being. Whales are intelligent, and Bush is a fucking idiot. How can you graduate from an ivy league school and not be able to speak English properly? There are six-year olds who can speak better than our dear president.
