The Eco-tally-ban's Junk Science
By Daryl L. Hunter
I once was a pawn for the Eco-tally-ban. With all the conviction of a hell-fire and damnation evangelical street preacher convinced the second coming of Christ was tomorrow, the Eco-tally-ban instilled in me the fear of a dying world.

As time went on the Eco-tally-ban's junk science became evident. A Spotted Owl's nest was found in a K-mart sign. Peregrine Falcons discovered the hunting and nesting was good on the roof of tall buildings and their bogus Canadian Lynx shortage was proven to be a lie to advance their anti-use agenda of the forest.

As I grew older and wiser I grew to value the wood in my home the leather of my shoes, the safety of my SUV, the magic of my light switch, and the ability to make a living in the mountains. I have always valued the rejuvenation of my soul after doing anything in the woods.

As a nature lover that moved to the Rocky Mountains for its many blessings it is my hope that the Eco-tally-ban quits crying wolf about their pet peeves. Their divisive and deceitful ways ruin the cause of honest purveyors of environmental science and as a concerned citizen of earth I prefer to trust the messenger and the Chicken Littles of the Eco-tally-ban negate my ability to do so.
