Your arguments hold NO water. In this case we are talking about public lands - wilderness in fact. They do not own this land we the taxpayers do!

As far as walk the walk, that is too silly an argument. All of us waste resources and all of us are to some extent hypocritical . But one need not live in a cave and consume no resources in order to be concerned about wilderness areas.

I am in fact a partisan. I favor those who will protect our environment. If that is a republican he will get my vote, as have several republicans in the past. But this one is trying hard to dismantle protections signed into law by previous republicans. I can assure you I have and will continue to speak out against anyone of any political persuasion who trip to give away our national resources.

Do you support letting a land owner drain a river killing all the fish in that river just because the river flows through his land and he can make a bigger profit selling his apples to South Korea, if he does so? How about clear cutting the National parks? Can one be against any environment wrecking problems and not be a hypocrite in your book?

P.S. My truck did get better than 20 MPG on the last trip. Is that some magic hurdle that now allows me to be concerned about the environment?

P.P.S. Be sure to save your posts for your grandkids. They may want to know what kind of thinking let our national treasures slip away.
