Let Them Be Sick

I am remembering Marie Antoinette's attitude of "Let them eat cake". She was so out of touch with reality,that her
only frame of reference for someone who had no bread, was to eat something else....eat cake instead.

George W. Bush will be remembered for his attitude reflected in "Let them be sick". I began wondering,
Who cares about clean air? You can't see it or feel it, so it doesn't exist. I think that would be the response of most people, because most people are that insensitive as adults. Especially if they are hungry.

I can imagine Bush saying," Who cares about clean air or clean water? Let them be sick! We've got that covered
with drugs and health insurance companies, ha, ha, ha!"

From the current New Yorker, I learn the Clean Air Act initiated under Nixon, was indeed a bright spot.
Those who care about such things are now having to go before the U.S.Supreme Court to get our nation
turned around from deliberately destroying its own people with pollution leading now to global warming.

How is Bush any different from Marie Antoinette?
