The US Environmental Protection Agency has an $84K grant to study churches that preach climate change and environmental justice. I suggested to my friend, the Lone Star Parson, that he take the money and use it to buy ammunition earmarked for purchase by the Social Security Administration (because they need a billion rounds of .223).Are minority communities and individuals burdened with more than their share of environmental risks in this country, while enjoying fewer of the benefits of environmental regulation than others? Is environmental justice policy no different from education, criminal and civil justice, and a host of other socioeconomic institutions in this country in being tainted by the broad brush of race and class discrimination? If not, what besides race and class discrimination could possibly explain these differences in environmental burdens and benefits? What explains the apparent lack of concern for the uneven impact of environmental policies and activities in most of the original federal environmental legislation?
Hilly did it! Hilly did it! Throw stones!
Burn the witch?
First throw stones, THEN burn the witch. Or . . . would that be bitch.
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Where does that leave Hillary?
