My contention is with little bureaucrats hundred or thousands of miles away who only think they know better than the locals who have the experience and knowledge to not "poop in their own beds," so to speak.

I wish I had the wordpower and knowledge to explain just how communistic the so-called "environmentalists" have become.

They erroneously assume property owners care nothing about their property, the preservation of it, or respect for the creatures that live on or near it. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Budge, Thanks for your thoughtful and informative reply. I agree with what you said above. In FL, the Rural Land Protection Act (protecting PRIVATE property owners) was actually heavily supported by both the private proerty owners and the environmentalists, which newspapers noted was a unique collaborative effort. More such efforts -- of working together -- would do much to help the environmentalists who are not nazis gain a better reputation, and believe me, I am always sympathetic to private property owners. [I have my own horror story I could tell about what I know was the theft of my own private property, and to think about it, though it happened awhile ago, makes me ill even today.] Thanks again for your post. :)

I have my own horror story I could tell about what I know was the theft of my own private property,...

I wish you would share that with us, Summer!

No, my whole point is enviro-nazis want to control private property.

As I stated, we, the property owners in that community, did much more to protect the environment than the bureaucrats many miles away did. Yet we were call "the destroyers!"
