I suppose I've been guilty of misjudging you.  I suppose I've been guilty of
misunderstanding you.  I know I'm often unorthodox (by choice, much of the
time).  But I still don't accept the notion of a pro-destruction
anti-conservation lobby.  Anti-conservation, sure.  Pro-construction (and
development), yeah (which I generally oppose).  But pro-destruction,
anti-conservation paints a picture of environmental hatred.  I don't think
this exists as a movement.  Environmental carelessness and indifference,
yes.  Greed motivated behavior, yes.

BTW, you know what my position is with regards to habitat and conservation.

And sorry about quick flames, but, as I've said before (whether you see it
or not) your posts often make non-response an impossible courtesy.

Oops.  I just did it again.

   let the nations be judged in your presence.
Strike them with terror, O Lord;
   let the nations know they are but men."
