Thanks for this post, Donna. I'm going to check out your website soon. I work for a wilderness coalition, so I know what you mean re the "middle class do-gooder" thing, as wilderness is an issue that is largely perceived as very bourgeois. However, we can't stop because folks are short-sighted. A lot of the people who complain are whining because they can't go rip apart all publicly-owned lands in their ORV's or some such, which is just immature. The fact is that we need wilderness for species habitat, clean streams, spawning, etc.etc. and to me that takes priority. Best wishes, Jane
