Turning One's Stomach
There are times when I read that paper or listen to the news and can't help but get a very sick feeling in my stomach. I can't imagine that these issues are partisan, but I guess in some minds they are justifiable actions. Most of this came from today's NY Times, so I'll just quickly recount. Thomas Friedman writes about General Motors and their reluctance to develop geo-green cars. He also blasts the administration for not pushing the U.S. toward a more environmentally responsible energy policy. The fact that they have done so little is disgusting on so many levels. Then there is the editorial outlining the relationship between loobyists, large corporations and government officials. How is this good for the country? And lastly is the case of the administration silence over the kidnapping of Mukhtaran Bibi in Pakistan. So much for our belief in human rights. Is it partisan to be angry about these things. Is this type of "politics as usual" something we really want? Why does so much of the country continue to accept these sorts of activities? I am at a loss for words. Everything I can think of as a response to my own questions leaves me depressed.
