RAPING THE EARTH IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE VALUE - #860

Michael Savage shares an article he wrote for the Sierra Club Bulletin in 1981 about the need for a long term approach to conservation. He explains his decades-long stance and how conservation is a core tenet of conservatism. He criticizes the shortsighted rightwing for their exploitation of nature for short term economic gains at the expense of future generations. Savage then shares personal anecdotes about mortality and life. He recounts a haunting fortune a palm reader once told him about his fate. He concludes by encouraging listeners to never sacrifice the long term for what is readily expedient.
