"The people who guide and manipulate the environmental movement are another matter.

Mark, I didn't even know that Ed Zehr had died, but here he is quoting you...

Yes, That was from Green Fascism in which he pulled extensively from an article that I wrote for Operation America on the Klamath crisis. He called my rationale for the behavior of regulatory agencies "the Vande Pol Paradigm." It was quite a complement coming from him spreading it all over the country like that. I would have liked to have met him and offered my thanks. I sent him a note expressing my gratitude but he never responded. Now that Washington Weekly is gone, I know why. It would seem that he died just after the magazine did. God rest his soul.
