You may have chuckled when you read the introductory post, and you came across the word "communism". But stick with us. Here is a quote from an environmental extremist:
"The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans." [Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project]
Spot the communist overtones? This guy is with the University of Florida and he is active in mapping out a statewide plan for government control of land that will be paid for by you, the collective human populous, but used only by wildlife. ONLY by wildlife.
A couple more:
"We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects.. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land." [David Foreman, Earth First!]
"While the death of young men in war is unfortunate, it is no more serious than the touching of mountains and wilderness areas by humankind." [David Brower, founder of Friends of the Earth and former executive director of the Sierra Club]
More outrageous quotes are here.
