Perhaps, John, protecting the environment is an exaggerated need. Of course we need to be good stewards of all resources but when you have the "general population" buying into things like global warning it's easy to move away from them.

It's interesting why Evangelicals would be moving in the opposite way of the general population on protecting the enviroment. Perhaps a little too much Rush Limbaugh and Fox News Channel?
