Not in My Environment
- Share via
Zealot environmentalists are costing our country millions of dollars every year -- constantly trying to block every attempt at construction or development in our state. Where are people supposed to live? “Not in my backyard,” these selfish individuals say. They live there, but nobody else can. They have wooden houses and furniture, drive SUVs, fly in planes and expect everybody to suffer while they get what they want. Their policies are not scientific much of the time and cost America millions.
Please chop down the tree because I need a new oak table and chairs. But of course plant 10 more for the future.
