Yes, but once the power is given over to the Federal Gov, there is no stopping it, controlling it, or making them behave. The problem with the legislation supporting most environmental concerns, is this. It becomes a vehicle to control the lives of others, and therefore becomes a compliant and useful tool of people who's agenda has nothing to do with protecting nature.

I couldn't agree more. The question is how do we balance these competing interests. I'm not sure regulation at the state or local level makes anymore sense as watersheds know no boundaries.
