re: #99 Jim D

I think you misunderstood my post. I was addressing paint-right’s comment which seems like an attempt to steer conversation away from evolution and towards an attack on the enviromentalists.

I see that now. Sorry about that. In fact I do agree with you that environmentalism is certainly a separate issue. I also think that conservatism and intelligent environmentalism are perfectly compatible.

paint-right:

I feel strongly that preservation of species should be a consideration in our society. While the left has certainly gone to illogical extremes, we shouldn’t deny that we harm our environment and thus our futures when we cause extinctions or other ecological damage through short-sighted or irresponsible behavior.
