As long as the Gov't is spending money researching the sex life of obscure toads and such, I think a results oriented project could be justified researching how tornados form aluminum magnets. From news reports, it seems a tornado will back up in its course to feed on a trailer park. If it is the aluminum that attracts them, think of the commercial uses for such a device!

they say man has destroyed all the wet lands... when the fact is that theirs only one natural lake in texas.

While that maybe true, lakes aren't the primary concern when we talk about protecting wetlands. It's the ephemeral wetlands, the bogs, the marshes, etc. that people are concerned about losing. People like lakes. Most people don't like the mosquito haven small wetlands.
