The same technique is used by dozens of marketers to sell everything from 
food to shampoo.  If we want to condemn them all, fine, but it seems to 
bother you only when used by environmentalists.

Says something about how clearly you express it in page after page of 
angry tirade.  Question is, do you understand your philosophy?

Why do you object to using "your" dollars for preserving "natural" areas
but you don't mind using them to subsidize grazing areas for ranchers?

Oxymoron Alert:  Luddites on the Internet!  Story at 10:00....  :-)  

You are barking up the wrong tree here entirely.  I have high self esteem,
good relationships with men and women, and a full appreciation of the 
works of human beings.  For one thing, I don't yell at everyone about 
how dumb they are without knowing anything about them -- characteristics
typical of those with low self-esteem and.....your posts.
