I've heard of tree huggers...but crawfish huggers?

Crawfish are delicious, trees aren't.

This week Enviro-mentaliststerrorists posing as scientists opened the flood gates...

I want to know how they got access to the controls for the gates?

Are there no guards at the controls?

WTF?

[microgood]

are crawfish what my grandpa called crawdads - like little lobsters?

[kentj]

I like that - crawfish hugger - the point is these loonies will kill off another species to get thier way - and BTW Crawdads are delicious.

Ummm... you missed it. This was "legitimate" officials opening the gates in a very much planned flood.

What I got out of this article is a bit of irony - how the leftist enviro-nazi crowd will use any "cause" to get their way, but completely ignore the fact that they are doing as much damage or more through their actions.

The author doesn't appear to be a "crawfish hugger", just someone using the deaths of these critters as an example of the hypocrisy of the left.

[kentj]

yep that is them fresh water bugs - very tasty

Lake Powell's loss, Lake Mead's gain?

[Doe Eyes]

Enviro-mentalists control Glen Canyon dam? Wow, I would have though a dam this size would have been under the control of the Federal Government.

[ChefKeith]

Oh- nevermind < /Emmilly Latilla voice >

[Technical Editor]

"Millions to die"? When have you ever heard such a phrase used when human beings are not the subject?

Your attention-getting technique is dishonest.

[Verginius Rufus]

I find it very hard to believe that Lake Powell has more shoreline than the Pacific coast of the United States.

[peyton randolph]

Your attention-getting technique is dishonest.

I certainly wouldn't hire you as a technical editor. Why? Because I was the second post to this thread, i.e. I did not post this article. Flame someone else.

I did a college report on this years ago - way before the environmentalists started running amuk. I had no point of view whatsoever before doing my research, but afterward I came to the conclusion that the creation of Glen Canyon Dam destroyed one of the most gorgeous and pristine canyons in the U.S.(along with drowning thousands of 4-legged living land creatures that called it home) and that most of the electrical power generated supplies the left coast, not Arizona.

Yes, its a neat lake to play in. The Colorado River basin was also an outstanding geographical wonder and wildlife habitat. So on one side of the dam issue, you have river rafters, and on the other you have houseboaters (and lakeside property owners).

Unfortunately, flushing the lake won't fix any of the downstream problems that building the dam created in the first place. Its impossible to replace what was irretrievably destroyed. (IMHO)

"I find it very hard to believe that Lake Powell has more shoreline than the Pacific coast of the United States."

Check out the map.

Additional punctuation and some attention to grammar might make this look more like a serious analysis and less like a rant.

[Gritty]

That's odd.

I can't remember these people complaining when Al Gore was raising a river during a drought to float his canoe for a campaign photo-op!
