Though there are radical environmental nazis out there, most of us just want to perserve our natural resources for the future. Pollution has been reduced significantly in the past twenty years, and there are numerous studies tying pollution to asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies and other medical ailments. I for one enjoy our national park systems, clean air, and getting away from 'civilization, and I would like to be able to keep these luxuries. Personifying anyone who has anything to do with environmental protection as wild-eyed hippie nazis does no one any good. Its like personifying christians like Jerry Falwell, personifying African-Americans like O.J., etc. As my motto goes, less politics more common sense. We must weight the pros and cons of urban development and more industrialization or we will never be able to enjoy our hobby; there will be no wilderness left in which to wheel. BTW, I thought 'tread lightly' was the motto of wheelers.
