  1. Spotted Owl, Polar Bears, Snail-Darters, ... All for propaganda purposes. All to justify use of force to save them. The thing I hate about this is the one side goes too far, gets demonized, and people go on thinking it's just a bunch of scare-mongering, and that the world would be fine if they'd just shut up. We do need to do better wrt the environment, but government action is not how we get to a better place. We get to a better place by free and prosperous people ascending Maslow's Ladder. From higher rungs of that ladder, they have the means to indulge their higher moral values. We're already to the point that the average shopper, given a choice between a company that spews pollution to make their products and a company that's environmentally more responsible, will choose the more responsible company's product. Solutions are going to be many. We're foolish to let the government decide which one or two "solutions" are the best. When the government does the deciding, the same people always cash in, and things don't get better. Oh, you can point to one metric that improves, but you have to sweep all the other metrics that got worse in the improvement of the one.
