spare us the rhetoric, clean up the Lakes

Here's another gem from Joyce Braithwaite-Brickley:

"If wishes were horses, beggars might ride. And if conferences were clean-ups, the Great Lakes would be absolutely untainted. So what are we to make of the December 3 Great Lakes summit gathering, convened in Chicago by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Michael Leavitt? One of the latest in a long series of such summits organized since the mid-1980s, this one attracted attention from “The New York Times” and other national news media. But that doesn't necessarily distinguish it from any of its mostly ineffective conference predecessors."
