Reply #6: There is No Value Other Than Money [View All]

Well, the modern Republican Party is a group, after all, that doesn't believe there is such a thing as communal society, or that people have rights just to have rights, or that anything that might have been commercially exploited should be "locked away" and protected. Oil anywhere should be dug up; the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve (ANWR) is just a storehouse where "we" have "our" oil in storage until "we" get it out. This is the group that out of nowhere killed overtime pay for millions of workers--why?

There is no such thing as "nature" to these people--everything is just fodder for the corporate marketplace, and an untouched forest or lake is just, to them, a property that might have made them money, and didn't.
