Chuck, good post. I've given this enviro-whacko thing a few grey hairs also. I've come to the conclusion it's a type of "mother earth" religion. They are no diferent then the animal worshipers in the Bible. That's why they are willing to die and kill, just the same as the whacko's in the Bible. You can't teach faith and religion in school but you can tear families apart by teaching two mommys or two daddys, thereby telling our children one or the other is useless. Family's are being run off farms and ranches, there are assaults, one after the other on private property; we are being locked out of our rivers, mountains, an deserts because of bugs, slugs, and other creeping, crawling, flying thing. They are blind to the knowledge that the end result of "mother earth" is man. They are destroying that and saying all else is more important than man so they sacrifice all God has made in the name of a false religion. In the past they sacrificed families on alters of blood, now it's altars of enviromentalism. In the end they will but sacrifice themselves along with us. I am making my stand. My family is more important than all the bugs and animals of this world. I will not be moved out of my place. They will have to roll over me to do so. Can you imigine going to meet your maker and being asked why life on earth was cut short and the reply would be, "It was because of a slug!" Stan
