Ted, while I disagree with you on this issue I personally don't consider you a wacko. I was just taking the opportunity of someone complaining about being called a wacko environmentalist to point out that both sides call each other wackos. You provide some better examples of actual wacko environmentalists.

There is validity to both sides...but right now the predominate mind set is still too much the way Rayman thinks

I disagree. Almost no one ever talks about rolling back some environmental regulations, atleast no politicians do, except perhaps in limited cases (like allowing drilling on a few thousand acres of the almost twenty million acre ANWR), or to say that the regulation was pushed to quickly and should be examined more first (like the arsenic in water regulations that Clinton pushed through as he was walking out the door and turning off the lights at the white house). When politicians do this they are often slapped down and if they are not they still lose popularity. Democrats mostly push for more environmental laws, Republicans usually say "I support that too but go slower", the Libertarian party is insignificant, and the green party while insignificant as well is growing. Your right about the two views not being in balance, they are titled towards the environmentalist position, perhaps not the "wacko environmentalist" position but definitely not towards the idea of strong property rights and limited government.
