Hardly. You've been listening to the media again. This is the same
media of Rathergate, Toyotagate, among any number of other fake
stories. They simply cannot stop beating the dead horse claim that
republicans are environmental rapists. These people are socialists who
want more land in government control for one reason only: more
government land means higher credit limits for welfare state borrowing.
Saving the cute and fuzzy creatures is a side effect, one which doesn't
actually happen. Study after study shows that private land is better
cared for than public, less likely to be polluted and more likely to
retain biodiversity.
