[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

The truth is The Nature Conservancy is little more than a massive, ruthless real estate machine using its tax-exempt status and ties to the government to create wealth for itself.
===========================

Guys, THAT bears repitition far and wide! The "conservancy" is one of if not THE biggest landowner in the WORLD excepting governments, and few of them even. Peace and love, George.

The Conservancy has been particularly vicious in continental New York. One of its favorite tactics is to browbeat landowners into selling their acreage for peanuts, by threatening them with condemnation proceedings, or by making circumlocuitous statements that invite the landowner to infer that such proceedings are already under way. This is a form of extortion for which no adequate condemnation exists.

If a government official were to do this, it would be felonious malfeasance -- abuse of power under color of law. Why the Nature Conservancy is allowed to do it, with tacit cooperation from Albany, simply eludes me.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,
