Rich Louv makes it into a column of an industry-backed anti-enviro Fox News Columnist.
The issue of a disconnect between people (children) and nature has always been one that crosses political boundaries. Even the far right Free Republic has had threads in the past where their members recognize the disconnect between kids and nature. The fact that the anti-green pundits are questioning the issue makes me wonder what they're afraid of. Do they want people disconnected from nature? You answer that one.
By the way, three cheers for Newt for bringing up the issue in his book.
