If the only way to keep corporations/private owners from destroying/polluting/poisoning the land is to have the government buy it, then I say "buy away..." incidentally, I read in the NY Slimes today that Bush weakened the wetlands protection act, or whatever it is called, apparently at the urging of Sununu (sp?), who is also the one who edited Bush's speech to be much weaker on global warming...
