Of Ring and Rush

Letter to the Editor - From the June 01, 2009 issue of High Country News by Ted Yellman

Ray Ring in "Sci-fi Conservation" writes that "the enviros are trying to establish a planetwide buffer zone around a few vulnerable species that have limited ranges" (HCN, 5/25/09). A lot depends on the words you choose, and it’s good that HCN is trying to be balanced. But this particular Ray Ring statement sounds like it could have been written by Rush Limbaugh.
