<Someone once told me that if you really want to do something for
conservation, you should join Ducks Unlimited. The crazy thing is, they were
right! What does it say about birders as a group, when they have to join a
hunting organization if they want to discuss conservation? It says that
birders are far less concerned about consevation than hunters, and that we
are a disgustingly selfish bunch of hypocrites.
There, I have made a sweeping generalization far worse than Martyn calling
hunters idiots. Have at me, and please prove me wrong. But give it a minutes
thought too. Why can't we discuss the most important issue facing our
planet. Why not?
yours in sarcasm,>

I have a tremendous amount of genuine respect for this letter and the person
who wrote it, not because it's a kind of "told you so" in an about way, but
because he has said exactly what I wanted to say but in a more direct
manner.
The letter he writes says a lot for everything I believe in and yes, every
time politics is brought up, someone says "this is not the place" blah,
blah, blah!!
I suggest you read this letter over and over again before the obvious people
start bombing my e-mail box with their predictable rubbish, that I can
handle, no bother, but I can't handle ignorance, let us all prove we are not
so!
