Someday they will learn that the damage done to are environment is directly damaging our own individual ecosystems; that both our psyche and physiology are negatively impacted when the environment is damaged; that man works best when the environment is sound and in balance; that it effects us in ways we have yet to understand. Unfortunately, we may find out too late.......and all the environmental damage could well lead to our own extinction Gawd! I think I'm going to be sick. This planet will die of overpopulation long before we are extinct due to "environmental damage".

even people like Coulter and Limbaugh when they rant don't do it with any passion Thats not true. I think they both occationally show passion, as do 2nd ammendment advocates, people who are pro-life, those fighting for school choice, and other conservatives. Tim, one doesn't "buy into the environmentalist agenda", one feels it. Thats too bad. If it was an intelectual thing then it would be more open to balance and reasonableness. But if you "feel it in your gut" it's excesses are harder to check. As far as the non-native species, that type of thing has always happened. Of course it can happen a bit faster now that the animals can hitch a ride on human made vehicles (or be intentionally imported by humans) but its nothing new. The enivronment changes it isn't and never has been static. We try to get rid of these "invasive species" (like kuzdu and the snake head fish) because we like what was there before more then the new species, but while there might be some bad results of having the new species around its not going to destroy the environment. If the enivronment was so brittle it would have shattered a billion years ago. Unfortunately, we may find out too late.......and all the environmental damage could well lead to our own extinction. You bring up some actual environmental problems in the rest of your post even if you do exagerate them, but this is a rather extreme exageration. Tim
