The sad part is that in NJ you can't say "Ah, whatever, it won't fly...".
This is the state that opposes ANWR, yet the first to howl when heating oil and gasoline prices rise, this is the state that votes to preserve all open space possible, yet is the first to complain that home prices rises. Now they would let animal rights groups have legal clout to decide on what to do about the growing population of black bears. I predict they would use eminent domain to condemn homes near black bear areas, and force people to abandon them to make room for the bears. Happened in the Pine Barrens, then NJ decided to declare them wetlands and many NJ residents, who brought cheap lots of land for retirement homes, ended up owning land that can never be developed. The landowner was allowed to appeal to a Wetlands Commission, but getting a waiver was next to impossible, because it was packed with patronage members who on average were college age environmentalists, who held the ideological line.
