You think the EPA and ESA are bad. Here is their next move.

Well, I think stuff like Kudzu is bad.

Prineville? Nothin' but sagebrush in Prineville and a few stragly junipers, what's left to kill? Did I miss something?

The question is not whether this stuff is bad. The question is whether we want government using this as another tool to control our property and water rights.
Property owners should be responsible for the damage invasive species do to their land and their neighbors land.

Yeah. Previous postings on the subject on FR have generally been from nuts under the apparent belief it's some sort of government taking away private property rights deal rather than fighting real threats, however.

Like uh uh islamo-muslim-fascists?Well, I'll back off and sort of agree with Strategerist about those illegal kudzu.:)

I think it's more cost effective to educate people about how to erradicate the invasive species themselves.

Oh yes, I live in a cafe in Greenwich Village and I've never seen a live tree before.

It amazes me how people can scream about the government overstepping their constitutional bounds yet still advocate government solutions to a problem. Government is never the answer.
There are freemarket solutions to this problem for those who care to fight the problem and maintain our rights. Guess you wouldn't be interested in that.

Was Roswell, NM on your mind......Or was it about our porus southern border?

That wasn't profound enough that it needed repeating-my typing finger just stuttered a little bit.

These invasive species are doing the work native species won't do.

Just curious...suppose a few hundred acres next to yours were full of knapweed and barkbeetles, and owned by an investor who happened to live in New York, where he neither knew about these critters, nor gave a damn.
Suppose you did, because you didn't want them infesting your land, doing whatever bad things it is that they do.
What are the free market solutions available to you?
