Perhaps it is UN-in-tent-shun-ill upon Mr. Leslie's part, but I am not at all comforted by the tenor of his letter, nor assured that there will be any efficacy in his likely futile resistance to the inevitable screw-job to come out of Arnold's secret negotiations with our gay communist globalist from Santa Cruz, Mr. Laird.
Because these thugs are hell bent with "conserving" the Sierra (to sell those mega-mark-up executive estates), the watersheds will continue drying up from over-stocking until it finally blows up. The San Bernardino Fires last year will look like a controlled burn by comparison (which in a tragic way, it was). The starthistle and knapweed will be everywhere. The erosion will be massive. The effects will propagate all the way to the estuaries of San Francisco Bay, and thence down the coast because of damaged spawning and rearing habitat in the estuary.
Great environmental plan.
Maybe our Arndroids here at FreeRepublic can't explain why this conservancy is so very necessary to Arnold, but I can. It lets politicians and crooked bureaucrats control who gets to build and where (in return for campaign dollars), and control who gets screwed out of their land in the process (usually conservative Republicans). That's the way it has worked here in Santa Cruz County for over thirty years, which Mr. Laird knows all too well. I'm sure Arnold finds it very interesting.
Get ready for the Sustained Development apartment buildings (high-rent tenements) in Placerville and Grass Valley to house the servants for those who may live in those mansions a few weeks a year.
I thought one of those articles posted up-thread said Laird was from Santa Rosa! Guess not. You oughta know!!!
The more I think about his folding, the more I realize he couldn't even draw to an inside straight! He's powerless, because he didn't get a show of support! Not from FR... NOT FROM ANYWHERE!!!
And he, like most other politicians, could not sort any good way out of this with his Governor pushing blindly for this GovernMental EnvironMentalism, unless he recieved an out-pouring of some kind of support! I couldn't support his "compromise" concept!
GovernMental EnvironMentalism is just a continuium(sp) of Communism that's more acceptable to Liberal idiots than Soviet style, murderous Communism, IMHO!!! It's even creepier IMHO!!! It's even more insidious IMHO!!! I despise what it's doing even in conservative circles!!!
I'm really PIST about what it's doing to CA and America, the state and nation I dearly have loved!!! (plus the market fell out of bed a little today, so I'm REALLY in a bad mood!)
