Paul Pepper: Ken Midkiff, "The Rights of Nature"

"We have this long belief in this country that private property rights are almost sacred, and that you can do anything you want with your property...well, yeah, you can do anything you want with your property, but you can't do anything that interferes with what's called 'the rights of nature'." -- KEN MIDKIFF, environmentalist/columnist May 17, 2022
