Tim, there is no question that progress is being made and that people are more concerned with protecting the environment but things are still more in favor of environmental degradation. This fits in perfectly with a comment I made awile back. Both sides see themselves as losing because both sides are focusing on different areas. The environmentalist sees that environmnetal damage is still happening so he is losing. The propert rights activist sees his ability to exerrcise his rights over his property being infringed on so he is losing. But the environment in the US is in better shape now then in 1970. The air and water are much cleaner, so the environmentalist shouldn't really see himself as losing as much as being in a tough continual close fought battle, with encourageing signs of progress. For the property rights activists - He was flat out losing until relatively recently. Some factors may have moved things in his direction but unless the trend picks up steam it might be like scoring a touchdown when you are down 35-7 late in the 4Q. Like I have said before, there is no other recourse. Our land and resources are not infinitesimal. There are limits that have to be placed to protect everyone's well being not just those who need to make lots of $$$. I know our resources are not infinitesimal. I think you meant infinite. dictionary.com 1.Immeasurably or incalculably minute. 2.Mathematics. Capable of having values approaching zero as a limit. n. 1.An immeasurably or incalculably minute amount or quantity. 2.Mathematics. A function or variable continuously approaching zero as a limit. There are limits that do have to be placed on things but those limits can respect property rights and consider costs and benefits rather then being based on emotionally moving but logically unsound argument.
