Once, a long time, when I was the editor of a weekly Oregon newspaper, I did a story about some of the land set aside for the spotted owl near my town. I went right to the center of the spotted owl set-aside. It was a huge clearcut surrounded by dozens of square miles of second-growth Douglas fir. The local environmentalists were steamed, especially by the photos. It was just one of the many steps that led me to the conservativism I embrace today.
You know, I don’t miss the Emerald People’s Republic that much, except for my garden, which was spectacular.
EnvironMentalists were the largest contributing factor to the Rodeo-Chediski Forest fires in AZ in 2002. Those fires are what pushed me to be active in politics and to be an outspoken conservative.
Hmmmm maybe they have done some good here in America. They encourage people to speak the truth to counter their lies and to get involved.
