I'll disagree with this statement at least in part. Conservation is not
new to this country or our century. It's been around in various forms,
since day one. Sometimes it only came through hard lessons learned, as in
the pioneers who cut too many trees only to realize it too late. But,
that is an aside to my main point. Many early conservations were
conservatives. Teddy Roosevelt for one, who loved the outdoors in all
it's forms is the father of our National Forests and Park Systems or if
not the "father" at least one of their greatest early champions. And what
was he by todays standards...yup! A conservative! (actually, conservative
- conservationist ---hmmm, must have the same root word origin...gads! say
it ain't so!!!!!! <laughing>) There are even sound
conservation/environmental teachings in the Bible (for you 'philosopizers'
out there) so it's not a recent phenomemon. Unfortunately, most people up
until the last 100 years or so were living day to day and couldn't afford
the "luxury" of environmental conciousness when their main concern was
surviving for another day. There has always been a deep rooted concern,
at least by the ural people, for resources and conservation to some
degree. The realities of living just sometimes got in the way and they
didn't know how to allow the two to not be mutually exclusive of each
other. Now, with education...we COULD start showing them a better way to
do things. IF we don't alienate them...and that is my biggest fear.
