My two cents

["Melvin Hochhalter" <mhochhalter@nc.rr.com>]

I think political issues related to birds are appropriate topics for this
list.  However, Will may disagree.  But, before he does, I would like to add
that we all have a share in creating "the problem."  Yeah, we capitalists
develop good birding terrain, but we tree-huggers also like our
suburban/rural isolation.  Maybe we should all donate our property to the
Nature Conservancy and move into a high-rise downtown.  Why, in no time,
nature would cover up our mess--in some fashion.  7;-)

I really would like to hear (read) some thoughtful discussion on what we can
do besides bashing that would help.

Thanks,
