Put 'er there, pard. But despite all business's finest efforts to pass off corporate propaganda as education, schools still keep turning out kids who are strongly opposed to the poisoning of the planet. Obviously, the only alternative left is for Gov. Thompson to seize direct control of the schools. The other alternative would be for business and its Republican mouthpieces to get with the environmental program. Their advertising agencies already have learned the popularity of environmental appeals.
Businesses use such messages to sell everything from coffee filters to laundry detergent.
Politicians try to sell themselves as environmentally friendly every Earth Day. It might be a whole lot to ask, but all corporations and Republicans have to do is believe their own advertising. This is so obviously the right way to go that there has to be some deep-seated emotional reason why big companies and their political toadies would continue to fight for their right to despoil the planet. They must still passionately believe their own outdated rhetoric. They denigrated environmentalists as tree-huggers for so long at their inbred corporate retreats that nobody seemed to notice everybody preferred to attend such events in remote locations surrounded by natural beauty instead of Wisconsin Dells.
