[pct-l] Filling Holes in the Marble Mountain Wilderness

Hey you forgot to blame him for the Kennedy assassination and the price of 
gas!!!

Jesus, get a life and stop blaming the president for trying to balance the 
many needs of many different groups. It gets old and sounds awful stupid.

These acquired lands will gain "Wilderness" status, and will be just as 
protected as all other Wildernesses Areas.
I agree, the present administration has a skewed view of nature being 
protected from human hands. They enjoy the
systematic dismantling bit by bit of our environmental protection 
legislation, international treaties, national integrity,
and the worldwide respect that America has gained through decades of 
recognizing and protecting human rights,
national wilderness treasures, and a century of environmental conservation. 
Wilderness status may only be another legal
loophole they will see as quaint, outdated, and inconsequential in their 
profit based agenda. One of the key bricks
in their foundation is to remove the citizens' and people's voice from the 
environmental decisions and the legal
process, and place all protection in the realm of a voluntary choice by 
industry who in their mind will be nature's steward.
I hope they will fail, and America will finally wake up from this really bad 
dreamstate we seem to be trapped in...for the losses
these last four years are disastrous!!

    It was a long and worthy battle, to acquire and protect these lands from 
the human race to be treasured by same at a slower pace....



  Yeah but is there any guarantee that these "public lands" won't now be 
opened up to forestry or mining?  With the present administration, one never 
knows.
