It's nice to think about the earth and all the adorable wildlife.
But if we have no jobs and no money, people will be huddled, warming themselves over the flames of burning trashcans and as Ted Turner suggested might happen by mid century - eating each other, probably sans decent silver ware. There will be no more special programs or forest rangers to take care of the nice animals if supposed conservatives keep voting to tax us all into oblivion and vaporise thousands of jobs. Of course, the other, more optimistic school of thought suggests that by then animals will be the only ones with food and a place to live. The air will be all clean and sparkling because industry and commerce will have ground to a halt. We vile humans would finally have what we deserve.
How would Sonny have voted? Would his ecological views have also clouded his love of free enterprise?
Not being from California, really I can only guess at these things...but the one thing I do understand. If one isn't really a conservative, or doesn't believe in libertarian values - one needs to go sit on the other side of the aisle, so that we all realise what we're up against.
