[edit] 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 the Oregon Natural Resources Council--is no longer to protect nature. It's to expunge humans from the countryside. [1]
- If you're an environmentalist, you should love nuclear energy because it's pollution free. [2]
