You may consider yourself a conservative, but you are certainly not a consistent, or considerate conservative IMHO. Your only solution is suffocation and abject fear that the free market in a free republic will not work because of what happened in LA.
Fomenting fear of the marketplace is never the mark of a conservative. It is always the refuge of the class envious, liberal socialist governmental totalitarian through mob-rule democracy and rampant selfish cowardice.
If the market didn't work, LA would still be filling up with white people looking for government defense jobs, instead of fanning out into the Sierra Nevada Range agitating foothill communities with bizzare growth control ballot box extreme measures.
Sorry if I seem opinionated, however, my opinion of your opinion is just as valid as you opinion of your opinion.(grin)

It's my understanding that the program signed by cities/states (?)federalizes our rivers and gives the federal goverment 5 miles of land on both sides of the river.
In my reading I have found that things done by governments including ours, mimics things done in the past almost like they thumb their noses at our ignorance. Hitler had a Heritage Program also (but I don't know what it involved). I was just wondering if You have knowledge about what happened in New York.
As far as Klamath (which isn't over by any means) these environuts have halted a hiway where I live, because of a butterfly. Someone involved in Klamath said that's how it started there, and that they laughed at first.
The time for laughing is over...................
I was not aware of that, but I found http://www.prfamerica.org/HeritageRiversAreasIndex.html that page in the Property Rights site. More info to dig through. Thanks.
Peace
Land should either belong in private hands or should be destroyed.
The "Nature Conservancy" is one of the biggest con games going. They somehow (bribes) have the power to buy land they desiginate needs "saving from developement" at a lower -than-cheap price because the owner that sells to THEM gets tax breaks that end up being more profitable to him (and his political buddies) that if he had sold the property at fair market value. PLEASE keep in mind that it is you and I who actually pay this bonus-money through our taxes.
The Nature Conservancy bought up a BUNCH of beachfront property in coastal NC a few decades ago. The people who owned this property were WELL connected to NC Dim politics,and the Governor regularry went there to go duck hunting. This whole huge tract of land was owned by tobacco money out of central NC. The alleged reason the Nature Conservancy bought it was to keep it from being developed,and this was the stated public reason for them being able to buy it so cheap. Guess what? 10 years or so went by,and ALL of this land was developed and sold. Strangly enough,there is zero talk about who sold it,or how much they profited from it. There is also no talk about reimbursing tax payers for the money initially furnished to buy it to "preserve nature".
Ya know what? If I wasn't such a trusting fellow,I might even go so far as to suggest the politicians and their rich contributors were all involed in this deal from the get-go. One hand washing the other,with all profiting without having to invest a single dime of their own money.
It seems we are closer to the worlds definition of free(which is not so free after all), and we are not brave enough to live without the guarantee, that the govt will take care of us, because we can't(won't).
