This is by the "certain kind of right winger" I've mentioned before as agreeing in certain ways with the lefty anti-industrial environmentalists.

Taki needn't worry. If Obama gets his way (G-d forbid!) we'll all be living in caves soon enough.

I myself agree in certain ways with the lefty anti-industrial environmentalists. For example, I agree with them that raping the Earth for the sake of profit is not only stupid, but immoral.

"Conservative" and "Conservation" spring from the same Latin root: the Latin conservare, which means to actively preserve. I am not an environmentalist. I, like most of the conservatives of the past, believe that the natural environment is to be preserved and managed for the use of humans and for its own sake. This does not mean letting little kids die from malaria because DDT kills baby birds; it does mean using our reason and planning our cities and towns instead of just bulldozing the hell out of everything and paving it over.
