Actually I am pretty moderate about the issue. I like making money and I very much appreciate the wilderness. However, I recognize that sometimes people inappropriately express their anger through various causes. These causes can be environmental, pro-life, right to life, conservative or liberal. The point is that sometimes people masquerade their own personal disdain and frustration as something else. The source of the rage often lies elsewhere. I am from Virginia which is a beautiful place and I am saddened every time I go home and see that there is more urban sprawl.

Witness the massacres at the labor strikes in the early 1900's Witness the great purges of the 1920's and '30's as Stalin forced collectivization of small individual farms at gun point, torture, or mass starvation, and then later purged his general staff to such a point they couldn't put up an appropriate defense against the Nazis. An estimated 20-30 million died as a result of a forced conversion from individual ownership to centralized state ownership. And shall we go into the cultural revolution in China or or deal with the killing fields of the Pol Pot?? The main difference between capitalism and communism deals with the exploitation of fellow men(women). "With capitalism, man exploits man...... With Communism, it's the other way around...."
