And something to paste on the wall or scrapbook for reference.

In Romans 1:18-32 is a great description of radical environmentalism facing America today. The most obvious part of the passage begins at verse 22, read this and see if it describes what we are facing today:
Professing to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures... For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Time for this old geezer to hit the hay (02:00) so I'll play catch-up tomorrow. Goodnight.

A great travesty of justice is taking shape, and your post describes it eloquently. My intuition is that environmental policy is molded by its own proponents' nagging philosophical worries (concerning the influence man is able to exert on his surroundings) which they presume to encode in positive law. Seldom if ever do they answer their own questions with positive, nuanced assertions; and so their activity is fundamentally a commandeering of political power in the name of philosophical dilemmas they really should keep to themselves until they can resolve them.

The Nature Conservancy offered Mrs. Gherardi a buyout of $7,500 per acre, when other commercial land on Route 111 is selling for $100,000 per acre. She thinks that the Nature Conservancy is “a government fronting agency working in conjunction with the commission.”

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.
