Good point.

I did not confuse the two, I merely used HSUS as an example. Anymore than I confused Civil Liberties with HSUS in my other example.

However, the point of Fish & Game regulating hunting is excellent, and was previously addressed and conceded. Point made, and I agree.

Again, point conceded.

Anything for publicity

Well, this is a whole other subject now, that really belongs in the philosophy section of the board, and with which I vehemently disagree. You can put "humaniac," "Red China," or "communist" labels on the very real matter of human overpopulation, but they are merely refusals to look at the most massive problem facing the world to day. It could properly be argued that the pathology of just accepting the status-quo, doing nothing, and instead just labeling any effort to change things as "communist" is without question the worst agenda of all.

Have you ever actually looked at the statistics of how much raw land is left now, compared to two decades ago?

Have you ever actually looked at the statistics as to how fast the human population is growing?

Have you ever actually looked at the statistics of how many species of animal have become extinct, are going extinct, and are predicted to be extinct within the next 10 years?

It is all staggering.

I do agree with this, absolutely.
