Perhaps there are two types of Environmentalists and there are two types of Conservationists. The Professionals and the Lay People.

I was referring to the "professionals", those that seem to align themselves with the extremist agenda. Those that may just think a bit too much of themselves. Those that take themselves a little too seriously. Those are the ones that I see as calling people like myself out as not caring and not contributing.

You see Brad, I see myself as one of the Layman Stewards of our Natural Resources. Nothing formal, just a day to day, give a hoot mentality. You see, people like you and me, we do more for the environment every day, than 10 of those other guys put together do in a week. We just don't run around tooting our own horn, telling everyone how grand we are. We don't have a title. We don't have a position. We're just regular Joe's, doing the next right thing, as we see it.

And, I'm getting sick and tired of that other class telling me I'm no good and scapegoating me simply to justify their own existence.

Now, that's what I'm talking about!
