Some people take the environmentalism too far as in feeling that the general public is a blight on the land. Their attitude seems to be look at nature but, do not touch it. They are seeking to pass laws that prohibit our ability to participate in nature. On the same token thier are commercial interests that have no respect for nature and all they see is dollars i.e. profit and loss. I believe that both of those groups are the people to which CES was refering to.

I believe that I am pro-environment however, I do believe in sustainable harvest principles and personnally feel that humans are a part of nature and we should participate in it. Gross negligence, overharvest, denial of access and polution should be avoided and in criminal cases severely punished but, being out in nature whether it is for a hike, a boat ride, fishing, hunting etc... should be encouraged as it keeps adults and our young people involved in the world we live in. It is far better thing to take a teen out hunting, fishing, hiking or boating then it is to incarcerate or fine them for doing such things.
