I am referring to the sophistication of the voters not the rioters who were almost exclusively immigrants, many of them illegal. The point about the prior president is well take but, our current president is as well. With an approval rating currently in the 20's, if I'm not mistaken, least popular in a log time. Do you believe the turnout will be any higher ?
Look at what the EPA has become under his admin.

I was refering to the riots after this past election.

The situation in France is completely different. The previous government was Socialist, more ecologically inclined than the current government. This new government is actually right wing, pro-Bush, big corporations, and less "green" if you will.
The problem in France, is that the previous socialist government had no spine (as most euro-socialist governments), and it immersed France in social chaos. I don't think the US is in social chaos, but it would be nice to see an increase in voter registration.

I guess I'll give you that one but the French are a passionate people
Is that any more stupid than when some cities here riot over their team winning the championship though ? Anyway we're way off point really & I did'nt mean to hijack a thread that I find interesting. We were talking about animals & I don't know how we got off track.

It might have not been necessarily off topic... it all kind of ties up together... politics, political upheaval, how to prevent the planet from going down the drain...

An interesting article here... well I found it interesting anyway. It's kind of funny the way we sometimes fail to look before we leap, all in the name of profit.

Delaying tactics endanger U.S. wildlife

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The case of the Hawaiian Haha is no laughing matter to environmentalists, who say the rare plant went extinct while waiting for U.S. wildlife officials to put it on the Endangered Species list
