It's just a big hole in the ground

So what's the fuss?

Pygalgia rises up to protect the Grand Canyon:
With minimal public notice and no formal environmental review, the Forest Service has approved a permit allowing a British mining company to explore for uranium just outside Grand Canyon National Park, less than three miles from a popular lookout over the canyon’s southern rim.
How just like Bush...

Remember, this administration is the one who thought of selling off the national parks, and trying to drill for oil (we won't make a mess, promise!) in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and opening the forests up to logging companies...(there's too many trees!). If it can be exploited so one of Bush's cronies can make money, then the government needs to hand it over!

Thanks. As I've brought this to the attention of local folk, the outrage has been palpable. We're organizing for a fight, so it's not over yet.

Lord help us, they are leaving the country in ruins as they get ready to vacate the White House.

Thanks for catching this, Pygalgia!
