Real world environmental management requires respect for unity in diversity - something that you have to study in detail before you can predict its behaviour.
SO Competent clever country practitioners, whom you know , or ought to, know the simplicities of the new religions offend and fail to work. Scientifically- genes don't come anywhere near the determination of all decision making ( take even the latest research on cell control)- Pity our mental health if they do; pity the mental health of our children because they are taught so .
The complex machinery of natural systems is, for humans in particular, the amazing starting structure in which some choices can be made. To say otherwise is to return us to the dark ages. We are living in the dark ages - a cloud over choice empowerment !
So, how seriously stupid are our supposedly practical pollies when they let the simple sermons take root! When public practice and policy on environment practice is a whole of hot air - lots of sound and fury, bluff and bluster , fear and fortune making( consultants and grant getters) - but signifying nothing .
The authority of the sermon givers cannot last when lots of our own people get burned uneccesarily and the conservation cash converters can't deliver.
"Let the forest live..... and the people burn !"If this was the text for yesterday , let it not be the text for tommorrow
Don't laugh - this is what public policy on environment has come to in 2009 ?
Hasn't this playing up to the minors made the government ineffective and incompetent ? Clearly the influence of the dark greens has been huge .
The dark greens actions in meddling in things they don't fully understand has been threatening our commoncensus politics for decades ( giving way to green senators and coalition left partners)- to the extent that many are unaware that its their half baked ideas and actions that create the " lets sit in the danger zone, doing whats right in the Shire's/ gods/ who knows whose eyes, and hope for the best attitude" that presumably got many people killed in February.
Dark greens ( assumming most people are green and rightly so ) don't respect their territory - ie what they really know and what production ecologists know ( how to fit houses into the bush) No - D greens use their position in the centre to force changes to make nature ( whatever that chooses itself to be ) more important than man. Now that stupidity has filtered down to local government level, its stupidity is obvious - but we are a compliant lot.
The real question for the resolution and protection of our democracy and effective governmnet is
Do we now believe, after giving in to their talk for decades ( as we have acted in parliament) , that nature is more important than people?
The warnings been there for decades .And don't believe you can sit and let the nonsense talk continue without effect . More from 2005

Environmental regulation driven by Green politics threatens the rule of law and property rights. The flawed processes by which environmental policies are determined and enforced not only subvert constitutional principles but also admit bad science.
