The ridiculous ESA is being used in FL to prevent growth in the boating industry by declairing any "water area" a manatee zone even if manatees never go there.
Unfortunately, the Lords of the Senate are too busy crapping out even more bad laws to pay any attention to this specific law/treaty. As for their oath of office, the Lords respect that even less than they do the Constitution. But try to mess around with their pay & perks, watch out! They can really focus on that.
Are you all as "in contempt of CONgress" as I am??? (other than Pombo, Doolittle, Herger and maybe Lewis in CA)
Ah yes, Lincoln Chafee. His idea of open range is a public croquet lawn.
A property rights controversy is when you sublease a berth from your college chum and his third wife Muffy and they still want to retain the membership in the Marina's Sunday brunch club which you simply MUST be seen at.
Consternated contempt of the Con men!
Enviornmentalism is out of control. The real environmentalists are the hunters, the sportsman, and businesses, not the dirt-god worshipping freaks whose goal is to return civilization to that of prehistoric times.
I bow to no man when it comes to who has the most contempt for Congress and the federal government.
So don't be given any of these Con men any mental laxitives or we'll REALLY have a mess on our hands!!!
They should worry about Pombo's legislation -- anytime a Real American gets into the Congress and begins to shake and move a little bit, the "sell America out" crowd gets nervous.
The '06 election will be a good time for Real Americans to flush the DC toilets!
I wanna see a whole lotta new Real American faces in DC in January '07!
The federal and State Endangered Species Acts have destroyed our local timber, mining and farming economies. Week before last, the Klamath National Forest gave a presentation to the Board of Supervisors where they did not even list timber harvest as a use of the National Forest. The legislation creating the Forests Reserves was intended for the purposes of a supply of wood products and protection of water sources for cities. They were NOT created for recreation, biodiversity, preservation or a quality "forest experience."
Suction dredge mining in our area has been virtually extinguished - the local Karuk tribe sued under the Dept, of Fish and Game under CESA to close it down.
Irrigated farming and ranching is rqeuired to come under an incidental take permit for endangered coho - exthorting an agreement to forgoe use of property rights by making uses that harass, harm, injure, kill or modify habitat a crime under the Act. They have made property usage revocable conditioned privilege rather than a right that can be freely exercised as long as it does not substantially harm the general public health and safety.
Now the State Water Resources Control Board is cutting another swath of property rights by claiming pre-1914 adjudicated water use rights can be taken without compensation for flows for coho and other cold water fish under the recent Robie decision.
Just last week, the North Coast water Quality Control Board gave us a presentation on its plan to further condition land use for its hydrologic impact on groundwater recharge, flooding, riparian areas and wetlands. This could pretty much replace local land use regulatory authorities by moving them under this appointed Board.
The public is not aware of the rights and freedoms we are losing hand over fist through environmental regulation such as FESA.
BTTT
The Enviro-Nazis' campaign to turn the Constitution into an empty shell needs to be stopped and stopped hard.
They've been allowed to gain credibility for so long now that any attempt to resist them gets branded "extremism."
They're evil, pure and simple.
