This is not a right wing/left wing issue but a Conservation issue.  Both 
wings live in Condos in Florida.  To raise the issue in these terms is to fan the 
flames of prejudice and perhaps soothe the sad feelings resulting from a sense 
of loss.  The beauty of nature is appreciated by people on every political 
spectrum.  It is true that some very wealthy people bought huge parcels of land 
for their enjoyment in a time when taxation did not confiscate their money and 
those parcels of land are now becoming available through the Green Acres 
Program and others.  Thank God that Rockefeller (one of them) bought St. Johns, 
USVI, and donated it to the National Parks.  Harriman's family donated their 
lands to NY State and we have trails to hike today because of their generosity.  
Other examples are multiple.
