Hence, nature must be kept pristine despite the harm this causes man. We must halt activities beneficial to us, such as farming, forestry and treatment of cancer, in order to safeguard fish, birds, trees and rats. Now we are being told to sacrifice our lives to nature. And current environmental legislation, such as the ESA, provides government with massive powers to enforce such sacrifices. Some environmentalists have expressed their wish.
Environmentalism makes man the endangered species.
The only antidote to these haters of mankind and their anti-human philosophy is to uphold man's right to pursue his own life by means of his productive activities. Congress should begin the process of rescinding the ESA and any environmental legislation that allows government to sacrifice people to nature. Calif.
