It seems allowing Meijer Inc.‘s gas station project on Lake Lansing Road to be called “environmentally friendly” is a label that doesn’t really get to any point. Will the Meijer officials be promoting bike riding or carpooling? Will the green roof absorb enough water otherwise washed away by the thousands of square feet turned into impervious concrete? Will its food items mirror what one might consider environmentally friendly products, rather than promoting the social inequity created by conventional coffees, chocolates and petroleum? Will the packaging of items sold be made of recycled materials free of noxious chemicals? Indeed, the answer probably is no to all.

If you watch the news today with any frequency, you cannot help but get a feeling of déjà vu.

Debates on Iraq are a constant occurrence, and every so often a new controversy pertaining to another of these topics will arise, providing fuel for a sometimes months-long media extravaganza. This sort of topic comprises a good majority of cable news and a slightly less significant proportion of nearly all other media. A large subset of the public, as a result, is lead to believe that these are the issues that truly matter.

Lansing — It’s about 3 p.m. on a Friday afternoon as Sparrow Hospital Dr. Joyce deJong opened the door to view the 11 visitors in the area she warmly calls “her waiting room.” While she says “waiting room” with a tone of affection, one step in the cold, dark area removes all trace of optimism. The room, at near capacity, housed 11 dead bodies at a frigid 42 degrees, with two more bodies — the victims of a tornado that blew through Williamston last week — being prepped for admittance.
