But the bottom line is, we don't have any natural systems anymore . . . people are a part of all our ecosystems, and we have to manage wildlife with people's needs in mind, too.

That basic fact seems to be lost on the environmentalists of today -- most of whom seldom if ever step out of their rarified urban enclaves.

I'm afraid old-school conservation is being replaced by radical environmentalism. The demographic trends don't look good either. The younger generation is being indoctrinated with environmentalist agenda, and they're completely unaware that there is a practicable alternative -- old-school conservation.

It could be a tough four years with radical environmentalist/socialist Carol Browner in Obama's cabinet.

Thanks for the ping!

Agreed...He made a very good point bringing out we are part of our ecosystem and as our numbers increase we become more a part of it, the enviros ignore that.
