Quotations
* "This is what's really happening in Klamath--call it rural cleansing--and it's repeating itself in environmental battles across the country. Indeed, the goal of many environmental groups--from the
Sierra Club to theOregon Natural Resources Council --is no longer to protect nature. It's to expunge humans from the countryside." [http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/kstrassel/?id=95000868]* "If you're an environmentalist, you should love nuclear energy because it's pollution free."
