Comments on: Ted Turner Tops the 2008 Land Report 100 http://www.landreport.com/2008/11/ted-turner-tops-the-land-report-100/ The Magazine of the American Landowner Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:24:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Chipa Wolfe http://www.landreport.com/2008/11/ted-turner-tops-the-land-report-100/comment-page-1/#comment-547 Chipa Wolfe Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:51:26 +0000 http://www.landreport.com/?p=1243#comment-547 Ted Turner is to be respected well beyond a successful businessman as he is a visionary beyond all others. The beauty of this man is that he has invested into the future of everyone on Earth instead of himself alone. His money has been well placed into areas that protect our children's interest as well as their children. Cattle ranchers pretend to be environmentally friendly while justifying mass killings of wolves, eagles, bears, and every other natural predator that takes an occasional cull as nature dictates. These same cattle ranchers say they are worried about Ted Turner putting his land holdings into land trust that will hurt their states economy and take away from the school taxes therefore depriving their children of an education. They seem to have no problem taking advantage of tax payer's BLM (Bureau of Land management) holdings in which many western ranchers reap the benefit of grazing their cattle for mere pennies while meat eating tax payers receive no break at the checkout stand. All cattle ranchers are not threatened by Buffalo ranchers but those same old sissy cowpokes that whine about buffalo, wolves, etc, are usually fueled by misinformation or ill-fitted panties. Ted's investment into protecting the environment is a direct investment into all of our children's lives. A land trust assures a rancher that is neighbored to Turner land holdings the probability of such land remaining pristine workable ranch land instead of strip-malls, condo's, etc,. I don't know who made it stupidly savvy to think tree-hugging is uncool, but I,m guessing it was talk radio and it's "business as usual" supporters that refuse to think man has inflicted some unreasonable impacts upon the Earth we call home. There is only one thing I do not like about Ted Turner and that is, Ted is to smart to get involved in politics as he would truly make some drastic changes via population control and general human impact that would work for the Planet even if it meant a little division and subtraction. Either way, sometimes we might want to reassess our thoughts of conniving and eccentric as capable and rational. Sometimes it may be worthwhile for cowboy's, Christian's, animal welfare warrior's and even Native people to embrace a wise man as a wise man. If only everyone had the ability to grow and learn about themselves by merely helping a fallen magpie.

I don’t know who made it stupidly savvy to think tree-hugging is uncool, but I,m guessing it was talk radio and it’s “business as usual” supporters that refuse to think man has inflicted some unreasonable impacts upon the Earth we call home. There is only one thing I do not like about Ted Turner and that is, Ted is to smart to get involved in politics as he would truly make some drastic changes via population control and general human impact that would work for the Planet even if it meant a little division and subtraction.
