I'm not going to bash you Mr. Bear, simply inform. 50% of the people who want to lock up what isn't in their backyard and is in mine are dong it to control me and my backyard. Here in Idaho there is a group of people who want to take all the water that us farmers have developed and flush it down the river to save the salmon. IT AIN'T ABOUT SALMON! IT'S ABOUT CONTROL AND POWER! It's the same with any of the other green groups. Half the people in the group are truly wanting to conserve what they are about, the other half, including the leadership, simply want to control something or sombody. Control is power! Most of these people don't have enough to do to keep themselves occupied so they take up some torch and run with it. If they had to worry about where their next meal was coming from they wouldn't have time to worry about how I was smashing a snail when I plow my fields. If you look at any of the third world countries, you will see a lack of environmental activism. Those people are hungry. That's not an opinion, that's a fact! P.D.H.
