Whether it's real estate prices, the American dollar, or our standing in the international community, there are so few facets of our lives that have not decreased in value in recent years. Today, the AP uncovered the government's periodic monetary valuation of our lives, and it's $900,000 lower than five years ago, down to $6.9 million. Yes, according to the EPA, that is the "value of a statistical life." Economists are calling shenanigans on the administration, saying it is just manipulating the data to reflect what it wants -- not having to pay to clean up the environment. Just as upsetting, our values dropped anyway by $650,000, due to the reducing value of the dollar. This is what you get when you elect oilmen into the government. Although if T. Boone Pickens is changing for the better, is there hope for Bush?

It seems to me that a bigger statement could be made about how the statistical life cost dropped from $8 million in 2000 (start of Bush term) $7.8-ish million (mid-2000) to $7.2-ish million (shortly after second election) to $6.9 million now. Interesting, isn't it, that the admin dropped it when it won elections in the past? I wonder what's driving this one... Perhaps setting up a January cost-hike palaver?

The mbt walking shoes are unstable, but the ordinary mbt footwear are not stable. The cheap mbt shoes your muscles instead of undermining them. Last but not least, the discount mbt shoes have a positive effect on the entire body, not just the feet. But the ordinary shoes just make the feet blance. Write comment

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
