Sometime recently I read a George Will diatribe on ANWR

That's the one. What exercised me was his assertion that environmentalism was nothing but a beard for manipulative, behind-the-scenes collectivists. Environmentalism can stand very well on its own, that you very much.

I didn't really understand that one. Because while liberals tend to be environmentalists, you don't HAVE to be a liberal, or a collectivist, to favor environmental causes- you might simply be one of those odd ducks who wants some pristine wilderness, clean water and clean air.

If Will was really angry at collectivist liberals, then he ought to go after them, and not after environmentalists.
