No Graham I did not deny that there were a few left wing dills out there.
The brigade that believes species and the environment should be valued at
nothing and that private approaches to conservation are a capitalist
conspiracy. I have no idea why they are concentrated in the Blue Mountains.
Down south we are generally a much more civilised (and open-minded) lot.
But my experience has been that, even those groups (especially public
bureaucracies) that John Wamsley has criticised, contain many who see value
in what he is doing. I stick to that assessment.

Oh that it were true. When earth sanctuaries tried to open a sanctuary in
the Blue Mountains, it seemed to be the local conservation groups leading
the charge to tar and feather Mr Wamsley.
