Saving the U.S.
It really bothers me when people try to tie wildlife conservation efforts into their otherwise unrelated, and often specious, world views.
You have to wonder whether this person owns beach property.
I am hearing more and more statements similar to the one expressed in the letter linked above. My first question is, in which mythical time and place have the issues raised by the writer not existed? Human beings have struggled with the issues she mentions throughout recorded history. People that make statements like the one below clearly have no clear understanding of human history, not to mention US history.
"Not so long ago, all life was sacred."
Not to mention the completely stupid statement:
"Giant portions of our population work to save whales, birds, trees and bugs. But they were more than supportive, they were eager for Terri Schiavo to die."
Where does the support for this statement come from.
Mostly I am disappointed that the South Florida Sun-Sentinel would publish material with so little basis in reality. Such things only serve to raise tensions that are already high and further divide people.
