Index of Subjects Well-said, Paul. In my book, environmental interests and long-term economic ones coincide. The conflicts are with shorter-term economic interests. We owe a lot of our good fortune to the foresight and sacrifices of people who came before us. Right now, we are still in a good position to make sacrifices for the well-being of others, both in future generations and in less-fortunate parts of the world. Will we be able to say that a generation from now? -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Paul Ruggles Sent: January-12-14 11:10 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] governance and science James and Darrell, The terrible truth is that political leaders continue to make decisions based on the idea that business interests trump environmental interests. The Liberals destroyed Newfoundland Cod and the Conservatives have set their sights even higher. I'm afraid it will be some time before appropriate concern for the environment will replace defunct political ideas. I guess we get what we deserve. Paul Ruggles.
