"God told Noah to take every animal into the ark, not just those which were
economically feasible, or cuddly, or useful for medicinal purposes." Stan
LeQuire, Director, Evangelical Environmental Network, quoted in "Spreading
the Word on Preservation," Washington Post, February 27, 1996.
``I believe the environmental reform agenda and the reputation of the
Republican party were severely damaged by the overreaching of some members of
my party in 1995, and a few still have failed to get that message,'' Boehlert
said. He also said some Republicans cloaked ``environmental rollbacks in the
mantle of reform'' and businesses that backed this strategy ``made a
disastrous
and irresponsible tactical error'' because it made the public sceptical about
reform efforts.

anti-environmental agenda
"We are going to expend every bit of our energy to push the same agenda
again - with or without the leadership," said Rep. Mark Foley of Florida,
speaking for his classmates after a two-day Republican freshman member
strategy
session sponsored by two conservative groups, the Heritage Foundation
and Empower America. "We may get pushed back a few yards, but we will get
to the goal line and win the game."
"I've traveled across this country, and I have yet to meet an
American who believes that we have too many National Parks."
--Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, at budget hearing
"The great triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing
something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater,
from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."
--- Aldous Huxley
