Now that the conservatives are about to take over the White House, you will hear all manner of concerns regarding environmental issues. Soon the EPA and other federal agencies will be headed by individuals chosen by G.W. Bush. In short order we hope that there will be a return to common sense and reason in government.

When you sit before the tube in your home and listen to "experts" who tell of environmental issues that, if left unchecked, will destroy life as we know it today, remember that politics is probably an integral part of their message.

Pay close attention to the hidden message within their words. Pay more attention to what they don't say than what they do.

Remember, you may not be an environmental expert, but in all likelihood, they are not either. All too often those who represent the far left resort to deceit and lies to foster their political agendas for theirs is a philosophy that embraces the end result rather than "integrity."

Use common sense and always default to God's most precious teachings when considering the words of men. Rest assure that God is in control and not mankind. Those who would have you believe otherwise would surely use your dispair and misinformed well intentions to gain monetarily and politically. Don't allow them to subvert the truth. --Al Colombo
