Environmental? He can't even pronounce it. What's more, he's not
demonstrated himself to be responsible in any way at all. I wonder how
carefully his pals at Enron disposed of their shredded documents? I'm sure
the accountants were careful enough.
It's not a business I'd want to be in right now, recycling computer hardware,
with the pendulum swinging in the direction that the pres is resisting. Once
the extremists overcome the cabinet's barely-a-quorum of grey cells, the rush
will be on.
What troubles me is that it should actually turn out to be illegal
transporting what's classified as hazardous materials around in your privately
owned vehicle, since a spill could result in God knows what (probably nothing,
but you know how the extremists will put it) and that will mean that if you
own a recycling facility, you won't be able simply to dispose of or
appropriate whatever you want.

Of all people in the U.S., one would certainly expect the prez
to be environmentally responsible. It is one of his duties,
I believe.
