I feel like I am tied to the Railroad Tracks of an On-Coming Train, and there is nothing I can do, but WATCH the Inevitability of this Insanity playing itself out!
The whole Human Race has been auctioned off and sold to the "Highest Bidders", while our local politicians are too busy debating the outcome of it on their pocket book.
I have witnessed first hand what an Environmental Rape looks like, when I was vacationing on Vancouver Island, in the early 80s, I saw with my own eyes the devastation left behind by the Clear-Cutting Lumber Practices on the Environment. It was like a part of me had just died, and there was nothing I could do about it but feel the Dark Emptiness of Death itself.

Luckily today, we have the Internet, and this sort Crimes Against Mother Nature can be stopped in their tracks.
McCain is not a realtor
But then again, he just might be and have a license to just make a trade deal without conferring to the Constitution, he seems to forget that the president is suppose to approve all trade deals, this is not unilateral for every Senator or Congressional person that can be done.
But before he becomes one maybe he should re-read the Constitution and the treaties signed through out the late 1700's through the 1870's about the sovereignty of the natives of the country
