Jesus Christ. I just posted a long laundry list about the Greens
position on land along with a citation.

Very few of the people who think they are Greens are familiar at all
with these documents. But they are useful -- show them to people who
are inclined toward Greens and they tend to change their mind.

We were just discussing the national program located at:

Now if *that's* the sort of thing you want to defend, be my guest, but
that is hardly a conservative platform and it's something I've found
from personal experience that few people, including mainstream
enviros, are willing to endorse.
