Letter: So much for a civilized nation

Monday, Dec. 18, 2000 | 10:42 a.m.

Here are some of the very possible future scenarios that you could be subjected to courtesy of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ensign, et al.:

More destruction of the environment, a nuclear dump, more immoral distribution of wealth, weakening of workers' rights, dismantling of Social Security, the weakening of our educational system, more societal divisiveness, etc.

These things can all be done without public outcry as they have in the past. As an example remember the S&L debacle (you're still paying for it), the corporatization of the world economy (slave labor, IMF, WTO, etc.), the raping of the environment (global warming, denuding of the rain forests, extinction of species, etc.), and the general uncivilized behavior of our populace due to the lack of hope.

These are partial lists as the commonweal of our forefathers is no more.
