Actually, many conservation proposals are based on science, and
are designed to provide habitat for the continued existence
of the flora and fauna which make up part of our heritage,
and which are part of the wealth of our country.

True, love for America is certainly an emotion, but not one
to be ashamed of.

Perhaps you disagree.

Right, just a dupe along with all those biologists who are concerned
about preserving our biological heritage.

Why?  The citizens of this country already own most of the land
involved.

Why not ask the ranchers and miners to cough up some money to buy
their own corner of the Mojave for everlasting exploitation and
destruction of the baaaaad desert?

: Honestly, if they/you do buy up a piece, I'll gladly fly over and help

We've already bought it, via tax money and the lives of our
soldiers, either from Mexico or the local tribes.
