Grrrr to Baccus. I can't not reply to his off the cuff, (censored) remark.
Let's start with my annual, continuing, and substantial contributions: The
Nature Conservancy, The Sierra Club, Earth First! Washington Wilderness
Society, green candidates, and any poor louse on a dark, rainy night who
knocks on my door begging for money to stop a road building effort, preserve
a forest, et cetera et cetera et cetera. Let's move to my annual memberships:
National Audubon Society, Washington Park Arboretum. Let's then move on to my
purchases of cereals, coffees, long distance services where portions of these
companies monies are devoted to conservation efforts. And then I'll finish
with the newly instituted $3.00 trail fee, which I grit my teeth and pay
because I recognize the necessity even as my bile mounts into my throat when
I think about our congressional inability to appropriate adequate money for
the Park Service coupled with our congressional zeal for LOGGING ROAD
appropriations. Yeah, go ahead and tax bird seed. I'll pay it.

Grrr!
