19. Alas...
historians will look back on this era and wonder why we didn't lift a finger to save forests? Why we chose to let fires burn? How did we decide that, in the face of global warming, wildfires were good for forests? Why was politics more important than saving forests and endangered species? Why weren't we progressive enough to accept the solutions offered by science?

It's just so sad to see purposeful incineration of our National Forests.

Zappa would have been licking his chops over the Bush Administration. Who knows? He could have made the difference in both Bush elections. He was very involved in trying to sign his fans up to vote in the '88 election. His album "Broadway the Hard Way" dealt very much with those politics and the songs still ring very true today (errrr....last election). However, think of the material he would have been able to use from Clinton's term, as well. "The Blue Dress" would have been a very good song title. How about "The Meaning of IS"? Zappa was never afraid to make fun of Democrats, too!
