Extremists Are Losers
- Share via
The latest ploy by the environmental extremists S.O.S. (an outfit calling itself Save Open Space, but more accurately described as Sabotage Open Space) has been to file a lawsuit against the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy’s $10-million purchase of superb parkland from a developer. The state attorney general’s office has OKd the purchase, and the trial judge has denied Sabotage Open Space an immediate injunction to halt the purchase.
With environmental extremists like these, reason and moderation are automatically rejected. The dirtiest word in their lexicon is compromise, the give-and-take without which all civil human activity fails--including, of course, real environmental gains.
