Yes, I'll be the first to admit that I was speaking in theory, and Don is
speaking in facts. We thought things looked pretty good for a while there,
but the tide has turned against us, and a whole lot of fighting is still
ahead of us. We environmentalists need to be just as clever as the timber
barons and politicians in raising the money to be able to state our cause
eloquently, and in getting the public on our side.
