Our conceit that we even have a voice in halting this,is a big part of the story, who are we to say that other parts of the world shouldn't have what is still regarded as 'progress'? As the article says the locals are still desperate to gain land - even if it's not used.Madness.<br />SBWThe Suburban Bushwackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372690405902840131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825273392145948457.post-82598462637580209762010-09-02T07:20:04.366+01:002010-09-02T07:20:04.366+01:00Tovar
