[RC] Nature Conservancy and horse trails - FASTGraphic - A. Perez"Ah, yes. But the extremist wackos don't really care ...." As a long-time supporter of the Nature Conservancy I find it highly amusing to hear them described as "extremist wackos"... all of the hard-core nature-nuts I know consider the NC to be very conservative, and not to be trusted because they are run by a bunch of <*shudder*> REPUBLICANS! The NCs modus operande is pure free-market: if you want to protect land, then BUY it. The hard-core enviro's resent the NCs *LACK* of activisim in promoting a 'green' political agenda, and in their reliance on land purchases as opposed to legislation to protect habitat. I don't follow all this very closely, so I am not familiar with any lobbying of the NC to ban horses from PUBLIC lands... but if they choose to close trails on Nature Conservancy owned land, it is their perogative, as those are NOT public lands but privately owned lands, and they can do with them as they please.... unless, of course, you don't believe in private property rights, Scott? ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
