These monkey-wrenchers have an endless list of acts of legal vandalism to commit. Just another chapter in the tyranny of Gaiea.

You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in states rights or you want the feds to control everything. Or maybe only when it suits you. Be consistent, please.

I say bravo to California for standing up for their rights. It's their people, their state.
