Thank goodness there is finally a counterbalance to the eco-craziness that has blindly trampled individual liberty. Pendley clearly argues a point one would think was obvious: people are important. This work is a powerful antidote to those who would prefer to see the West (among other areas) people-free. This book is bound to annoy, and hopefully educate, the droves of band-wagon armchair ecologists in America today.

Pendley has written a book full of tales of people who are act out of greed and self-interest. If Pendley and the people in this book had their way America would have no public land, no protected forest, and noise pollution from the many many roads they'd build thru our pristine wildernesses would destroy any wilderness experience.

Pendley and the people he celebrates have a view of the future that looks forward no farther than next week. They are trying to destroy what we cherish. Because true liberty is the freedom to go where you want and experience our great country in its natural state...not whats left over after corporate interests have taken their toll.

'It Takes a Moron' would be more like it; this incredible- literally- compendium of semi-fictitous tales of the selfish, the ill-informed and the misguided virtually defines the term 'wise use'. If you think people who fight on a daily basis to preserve wildlife, wild places, clean air, clean water, the ozone layer, the oceans, our forests etc. etc. are the 'enemy' and find resistance to their efforts 'heroic' you might enjoy this drivel by James Watt's bestest buddy. Probably not.
