Oh boy, here we go again. This is the classic private land owners vs. public
good argument. Let's see if Chris can avoid the usual Rush Limbaugh-isms:

OK, that'll be fine. I own some land too. You won't mind if I bury some
plutonium there will you?

Such compassion for your fellow humans and other living things. Cut, cut, cut,
I always say. When in doubt, rip it out. %-/

You see, the problem with what you have to say is that these private land
owners are doing things that are wrecking the atmosphere that me and
my children need to breathe. Get it now?

I can't AFFORD to buy all the land that murderers like you want to destroy.
That's why gov't fiat is necessary to put a stop to you people. When the
Republicans are finally deposed, you better get ready for a whole lot of
gov't fiat. There's a lot of catching up to do. Oh, and by the way, please
don't whine while all this is going on. You folks had your chance. 

"We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." Don't get in
the way Chris.

Speaking of buying things, you might want to start buying a whole lot of
water desalinators there in San Diego. Why? Because you're soon going to
be a citizen of a different state than where I live. We have the water and
you don't. If my take on the temperment of my fellow Northern Californians
is correct, you don't have enough money to buy our water. By 2000 Chris, IT
AIN'T GONNA BE FOR SALE. Plan ahead while there's still time.

(And that goes double for what you people have done to the Colorado; did
you know that by the middle of the next century the chances are good that
that river will be free-flowing once again? Please Chris, you must start
looking to the future...the clock is ticking!)

Oh man, you've managed to hit another of my hot buttons. Well, I've got news
for you sport. When the line-item tax return (everyone gets to fund their fav.
pet projects) is implemented after all the Republican criminals have been
carted away [go Iraqgate independent prosecutor!!!!!!!], my guess is that
art will do just fine. Welfare for weapons builders probably won't do so good.
