CONSERVATION(top)

Thought of the day: Theodore Roosvelt, the Conservation President, is quoted in challenging the citizens;" Here is your country - do not let anyone take it or its glory away from you. Do not let selfish men or greedy interest skim your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance. In the future the world and your children shall judge you according to how you dealt with this sacred trust."

 

Roosevelt courageously fought shortsightedness and greed. In view of the political and special interests involved, today, the powers in control of  the state of Florida need some of his courage in dealing with the environmental problems in South Florida.
