The American Tragedy

News from a nation endeavouring to lead the world in moral and ethical issues:

"Bush's Energy Plan Is Endorsed by House of Representatives"

(Washington Post, Thursday, August 2, 2001)

We don't usually "do" politics in Taboo-Breaker, unless they relate to blatant violations of common sense....

Comment:

Hollywood lets its heroes - Superman et al. - fight the bad guys and save the world from destruction ...
Washington lets its top man help the bad guys accelerate its destruction.

Rest of the world beware:

The president of the United States is no laughing matter, as you may have thought.
He is a serious threat to our longterm survival.

In a recent survey, Bush received the highest marks -- being "honest and trustworthy and upholding high moral and ethical standards".

Question to the poll participants:
Is fostering the arms lobbies "moral"?
Is plundering prime resources "ethical"?
