Glassberg's public statement on collecting.

[NatureBLove at aol.com]

Who Cares what his statement is~!  Why must this group (NABA LEPSOC) as a 
hole do nothing but say this about this person and that about this person, 
this is right, no this is right!!  Why can't everyone accept that there are 
different ways of studying butterflies/moths and if it is legal then live 
with it.  But, please stop with the name calling and bashing of individuals.  
 I am a member of these organizations and list serv to learn more about 
butterflies.  Give it up!!

But the subtle degrading remarks can be found in abundance. Like
how about his referral to "collecting things being a primitive urge"

Reminds me of Bob Pyle's comment that people who breed
and sell Monarchs and Painted Ladies for release are
"entomology's lowlifes."
