Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
Extinct 1940's
Found 2004
I cleared out a lot of dead wood from my woods...the owls
love it...they have a clearer shot at prey...(mice and rabbits
gophers etc) and can now fly through it more easily when crows try to swarm them..
Do does this guy: 
So does...
I remember a certain Earth Day celebration last week at my university. There was a giant stage erected for performance artists to get up and perform skits or whatever about the environment. As I was passing by it on my bike, I saw an acquaintance of mine named Sean performing a poem (I think) on stage. Now, Sean is the perfect epitome of a hippie. He loves wearing tie dye clothes and sandals, has the constant stench of sweat and reefer on him, the only thing he's missing is really long hair. Well, he was performing, and was basically just shrieking and yelling incoherently in a shrill, obnoxious voice. At one point as I was passing, I heard him scream, "AMERICA, EXILE ME!" I thought to myself, 'Oh, if only we could!' I didn't stick around because I had better things to do, but I heard later that Sean's performance got worse as time went on. He made frequent references to pot, cocaine, and acid without the school's administrators doing anything to stop him (This, at an event with young children present). However, as soon as he said the "F" word on stage, a woman politely came up on stage, took the microphone from him and said, "Thank you, Sean, who's next?" This apparently sent Sean completely over the edge, as he started running around screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs.
Of course, we need to protect our environment, it should be among our top priorities, but people like Sean are simply nuts.
we need to protect our personal rights before protecting the environment...
"we need to protect our personal rights before protecting the environment..."
I know. That's why I said protecting the environment should be AMONG our top priorities, rather than suggesting it be our #1 priority.
I must take issue with number 5. Certainly "Clearing dead wood, reforestation, and active forest management are central to sound forest stewardship". However, the line before this is misleading (a call for "quick removal of dead trees"??? What forest does he live near?) and there are a significant number of situations where a burn is needed and should be let go.

The issue may be that a lot of trees were burned and killed but not destroyed for lumber purposes - IF - they could be harvested right away before mold and rot set in.
The environazis saw this coming and stood in the way by tying any reclamation logging up in the plodding court system until the burned-over trees were completely worthless.
It's high time America realized that these so-called "environmentalist" organization are nothing but subversives who won't be satisfied until they bring our country down.
Of course he does.
The biggest earth day coincidence is...Lenin's birthday. When you start with a lie that big, everything else is trivial
People like Sean and Randi Rhoades are guilty of air pollution.
That's what I notice too.
James Carville?
Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson dons work clothes and climbs aboard a tournapull,
then proceeds to clear an area in front of the Washington Monument for attendees
to congregate in, the better to hear him speak at the first Earthday; April 22, 1970.
