"Pombo should be praised by all sensible citizens. "

Let me be one to praise him for trying to do the right thing and ix what is borken in the Endangered Species Act.

"Critics, especially environmentalists .. " this is typical of the media. They carry water for the liberal point-of-view but gave no space for the views of property owners.

I am reading a Forbes speech on economics and he mentions the 5 Principles of Prosperity:
1. Rule of law
2. Property rights
3. Low taxes
4. Make it easy to launch businesses (low regulation)
5. Free trade

Note #2 - Property rights, a key part of our human rights and our economic system that leads to prosperity.

ESA is an attack on property rights, and as such it is an attack on our freedoms and an attack on our prosperity.
Protecting species should not come at the expense of our rights or our prosperity ...

"we need some sensible enviro plans which allow humans to come first in our priorities".
Exactly.

The high taxes and heavy regulations are two key reasons for business heading offshore. New ideas are perishable in the marketplace. If you wait too long, others bring the idea to market before you do. Sometimes better technology comes along that makes your idea irrelevant. If you can't move quickly because of excessive regulation, many ideas die on the vine.

They have separated CONTROL from ownership! That is the primary property right and how they've used local government and this stupid federal law to wrest control away from each owner.

Why would one want to own ANYTHING, it you couldn't control it's usage? In this country, we just pretend we control our property and it's a sick joke!!!
