Those people who don't give a darn about red-legged frogs are going to have future descendants, just as much as the environmental extremists will. What the green bigots really want is for future generations of green bigots to be able to over-ride future generations of other people who do not share their views. What some consider to be idealism could more accurately be called self-exaltation. You cannot be a judge handing down edicts for others unless you are placing yourself above those others. We know how judges are appointed or elected.

A new cult of pagan nature worship has sprung up, in which the slightest inconvenience to any toad or bug is enough to call a halt to even the most urgent human needs. A new mythology has been created, in which wildlife can only survive in their original habitats. Surely they have not been there since the dawn of time or even throughout the whole history of spotted owls.
