Ernie, you're going to have to provide a LOT more proof of malfeasance in groups like Audubon and the Nature Conservancy if you expect to be taken seriously. I'm a lifelong member of Audubon, and always found them VERY responsive to the wishes of their membership-particularly their activist members who are active in the local affiliates. The last thing we need is to have FEWER herpers on local Audubon Boards!

As for the Nature Conservancy, there is not a more widely-respected environmental group out there-even corporate and republican types give it high marks, (if only grudgingly).... And why not? They protect wild habitat the old fashioned way-they BUY it!
