Oscar Wilde wrote in Lady Windermere’s Fan: “A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.” Our President is just such a man—his most recent destructive act is stripping the Environmental Protection Agency of its mandate to preserve endangered species by redefining what the word “harm” means. Apparently he is fine with leasing or selling oil rights, mining rights, logging rights to lands that harbor endangered species—to him there is no value in a beautiful animal or plant unless it can be turned into a dollar. Maybe there are Independents and Republicans who will finally feel disgust and dismay and do everything possible to strip him of his powers. Vote out all Republicans who support him in November, and donate to organizations that can fight this latest madness. He seems determined to destroy everything he touches.
