Just curious Camo, but where did you get that statistic? And what was their 
definition of "wilderness"?

FWIW - According to 
<http://www.leaveitwild.org/reports/zogby_poll_results_0103.pdf> only 4.7% 
of the US is designated wilderness and most Americans don't believe that is 
enough. That was true of voters from both major parties.
