It has nothing to do with being 'rich' Roger. It's a matter of being comfortable with your place in the world. It's a matter of understanding that there are sometimes things that are better for the good of all even though they hurt you personally. I want my children and even grandchildren to see at least some small part of the Willamette Valley as the rural paradise that was when I grew up. Therefore we can't have people slicing it up into 5-acre chunks and building their trophy homes and starting their hobby farms.
Some restrictions are necessary.
Yes, those restrictions hurt me, but I believe they will do some good. I just wish our president understood that sometimes what is good for the American economy is not good for the earth, that sometimes what is good for his oil drilling buddies is not good for the wildlife that inhabit ANWR and that sometimes you need to stand up for what is right and not give in to what is profitable.
