     ***  Are we on the same page here? You're not praising sprawl and a 
company stock dedicated to shrinking open space on an AT site are you? 


      If you are, I would like for you to answer one single question. When 
those suburbs are built and maxed out and all the useable land is gone -what 
are we going to do then with the huge population it encourages which then 
needs to continue the surge economy?

  (Well, two questions)  Is that something to be excited about?

    (Three questions---) How in goodness' name does that tie in with the AT's 
land conservation goal?
