Summer started early in Texas this year. It is July 2nd and we already have had 3 days over 100 degrees and 30 days without rain. Not a good start to what is going to be a very long, dry and scorching summer. I am not talking about the weather now.
The country is about to witness a few key choices that will be made to shape our legal system, our environment and our freedom this summer. The Supreme Court must get some new faces added that will direct critical decisions for the next 20 to 30 years. The prospects for the environment have been getting dimmer for the past 6 years under the onslaught from the Bush brigade, now we risk having some of that mind set and destruction moving into the highest court in our land. Hand in hand with decimating the earth we need to protect we will also see our freedoms being eroded further. We hear that we are fighting a war for democracy and freedom abroad, but our personal freedoms at home are slowly being eroded away just like our earth is being gouged by oil drills and the air soured by emission from profit greed.
History will look back on this time as the depression of vision and thought in the White House. When the people of America were bankrupted by the lack of thinking and consideration of the long term needs of our country, when short term greed and emotional rhetoric ruled the day.
