Mexican deforestation - Monarch butterfly

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

Well I sorta agree with the disagreement.  I too disagree with destroying
large natural habitats for the short term benefit of powerful special
interests and that is not what I was agreeing with. I was agreeing with the
observation that it would be nice to not have the personal attacks on this
discussion group.  Concerning the views shared in the second paragraph; lets
turn this around and suggest that maybe some people are tired of the
environmental propaganda and manipulation of facts that appear in postings
from some other participants and further; some participants would find the
list a nicer place if certain individuals would take their left wing agenda
and activism some place else.  But neither of these events is likely to
occur; emotionalists will continue to be upset by rationalists and various
points of view will continue to irritate those who are irritated by
differing views; and I still want to see the butterfly report that prompted
this thread so we can talk about the butterfly info, what it means and share
ideas about what can be done about the threats to the butterflies etc.. Best
wishes for an enjoyable weekend by all -- more fun and drama next week :-)
--yours in eco-philosophy, 'Aldo' Kondla :-)

I guess I disagree. To some people it may seem rational to damage and 
destroy large natural habitats and ecosystems especially for the short-term 
benefit of powerful special interests. I am not one of them.

I am tired of Paul's constant anti-environmental propaganda and manipulation

of facts. This mailing list would be a much nicer place if he would take his

right-wing agenda and activism elsewhere.
