'Beyond Unacceptable': Judge OKs Uranium Mine at Grand Canyon

In June, the Grand Canyon was named one of the "Most Endangered Places" in America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. But the designation came just two months too late to possibly influence U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell.

Um, 316, you do know the rocky mountains were formed by tectonic plates pushing together and the ground rose up, right? Those erosion marks were commonly from "before that".

Right?

I can't wait to buy some firewood from the great redwood forest next. It really adds a great flavor when you are grilling endangered animals.

Judge David Campbell can still stop this. It's like letting a fire go because it was already started!!! Please stop this from happening.
