It's pretty much common knowledge that liberals and tree hugger type people have headed up everything atv-ban related. This is fact, not something I just made up. I am not gonna get into it. Whether or not liberals have done this or not is really not what we were getting at here, it was how the media reports things in a biased manner. The people who wanted atc banned got it, and they did it by lying.
Wiki notes:
quote:
Although ORVs had been identified 30 years ago as a threat to wild ecosystems by the Forest Service, only after pressure by an unlikely alliance of environmentalists, private landowners, hunters, ranchers, fishermen, quiet recreationists and forest rangers themselves (who identified ORVs as a "significant law enforcement problem" in national forests) has action been taken.
'common knowledge' aside - is this article in error?
