You may be seeing a lot of quotes in your local media from Peter Huber, a
fellow
at the Manhattan Institute who has written a book called HARD GREEN: A
CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO.  This book is being widely quoted by wise-use op ed
types, members of Congress, and our opponents in the business community.

Whenever you see such a quote, you should expose Mr. Huber's belief system.
He
makes it very easy for you to write a letter to the editor.

Here is a quote taken from his book with which you should be able to have a
great deal of fun -- he, unfortunately, is serious:

"Cut down the last redwoods for chopsticks, harpoon the last blue whale for
sushi, and the additional mouths fed will nourish additional human brains
which
will soon invent ways to replace blubber with olestra and pine with
plastic.
Humanity can survive just fine in a planet-covering crypt of concrete and
computers."

Mr. Huber is also a columnis for FORBES magazine.
