The only problem here is that some of the best conservation work is done on private property and we're in danger of losing our inclusive, public hunting heritage to an elitist, European type of private preserve hunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-52476119609019021802007-05-03T17:12:00.000-07:002007-05-03T17:12:00.000-07:00Love the Blowhard post.I've talked to friends a co...Love the Blowhard post.<BR/>I've talked to friends a couple of times this week about the green scene and my frustration with all the effort being put into global warming. I'm afraid that, much like the population explosion hasn't resulted in mass starvation and global cooling didn't result in a new ice age, the lack of a short term apocalypse due to global cooling will hurt all environmentalists (if it does result in an apocalypse, I'll be busy with other concerns. When failure to buy carbon offsets and drive Priuii don't save the world, every environmental initiative loses ground. Meanwhile, so much progress has been made and so much more could be done. Look at all the good from the Clean Water Act and consider all the good that could come from expanding it a bit. For that matter, for a bigger initiative Al Gore could address some of the severely stressed oceanic fish stocks, many of which would require international cooperation to be allowed to recover. <BR/> I suppose this accurately marks me as one of the Nature Conservancy/DU crowd. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, re: drinking, my folks permitted my sibling and I the occasional glass of wine with no resulting alcoholism.mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.com
