    Great Analysis

    Too bad Conservatives and Conservation don't go together. It's ironic that those who consider themselves conservative are not that way about resources. Yet people who are liberal are conservative about resources. I sense a change though as more and more people are starting to realize that the natural resources we use are finite.
