Reply to MarkC & Brian703,
Let me say that I too am Christian and extremely enviromentally conscious. If you felt yourself in my statement then I'm torn between apologizing or telling you to get out more often. I'll opt for the apology.
If you've ever attended a land closure hearing then you would not have taken any offense to my statement. You are not one of these people. And I doubt you've ever seen one in action.
As a Christian you worship Jesus Christ the Creator, you dont worship what he created. The evironazis' .. scratch that, enviroterrorists worship mommy earth as their diety. I've met these people and debated them in public forum at a few land use gatherings. They dont believe in compromise its their way or no way.
MarkC, I have come to learn that the term enviromentalist is not synonymous with being enviromentally conscious. I'm not talking about the bird watchers and nature seekers. If and when you ever meet an environazi it wont be at your local congregation. No, to find these people you dont head for the woods, you'll never find them there actually enjoying God's creation. Go to either your state capital or Washington DC. You'll find them there, highly funded, well networked and lobbying hard. Believe me they do not have the public's best interest in mind! God bless...snoboy
