Comical.  Oh horrors - someone may be having some fun somewhere.

Point by point - 
&quot;scarring a beautiful landscape&quot; - these guys on on SAND DUNES.  Have you ever been to sand dunes?  30 seconds after the wind starts blowing all features are gone.  Completely.

&quot;unnecessarily burning gasoline&quot; - riding a quad is fun recreation.  So is taking your kids to soccer practice or going out to see a movie.  How &quot;necessary&quot; are those?

&quot;making unconscionable noise&quot; - now I know you&#039;ve never been to any desert or desolate wilderness.  Who&#039;s going to get upset about the noise? The snakes? In 20 some-odd years of OHV recreation, I can&#039;t recall seeing any hikers or mnt bikers on sand dunes.  Do you know why?

&quot;polluting the atmosphere&quot; - it looks to me like they&#039;re riding a Polaris RZR 800cc twin.  How big is the motor in your vehicle?

You armchair environmentalists need to listen to Scott Wine and &quot;get out of the office more often&quot;.  Sheesh ..
