Smokey Bear and the environmental bandits | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Consider the plight of poor old Smokey Bear. This once venerable cartoon spokesman for the Forest Service had only one piece of advice: “Only you can prevent wildfires.” Imagine his shock over President Donald Trump’s interpretation: “The way I can prevent forest fires is to permit more logging.” Beneath this smoke screen is the larger Trump administration plan to replace natural conservation as a national priority with exploitation whenever and wherever possible.

The court issued a number of reactionary rulings this year, but if it had struck down the constitutional guarantee of citizenship for those born here, it would have amounted to a reverse Roe v. Wade. Instead of using raw judicial p
