Well, right from the start... I'm against these goofy schemes of affirmative action for fish and plants and welfare for wildlife. They've been proposin and re-proposin that crap up here and when the whitewater rafting communutty started forcing the issue, I proposed we accept the concept as long as in covered all the properties along the American River and suddenly the silence was deafening!!!
What I find sickening is how easily the property owners allow themselves to be pushed over and intimidated and coerced with tax dodges, regular old threats, etc. You can't champion a cause against this stuff when they won't untilize your leadership against this baloney.
I call it "inexorable incrementalism," because they keep after it like hydrolic water pressure with a constant "full court press!" They also are very experienced and talented in twisting everything opponents say into being "against the environment!"
To me, they are ruthless people out to implement some other ism than capitalism and I think they are activists for something other than traditional Americanism. The smell terribly strongly of old Europe socialism of the Franco-Germanic GANG-GREEN type!
I could say much more, the the question always lingers over these HCP's (Habitat Conservation Plans) that is what they called these things during Clinton/Babbit's time in office... Who wants this other than the Bird Watchers, the Posey Pluckers and the more militant sportsmen groups for hunting and fishing.
These normally good special interst groups are having their staffing infiltrated with leftists who then arrange for GANG-GREEN litigators or like mind who start pro-bono until there's a suit filed. Then the "citizen district attorney" law allows them their attorney fees at taxpayers expense no matter how the litigation succeeds, or fails, or is just settled!!!
This is so hideous and insideous that I'm having flash-backs to the horrors of seeing my fellow Board of Supervisor colleagues voting in closed session to settle with these bastards just to get 'em outta the county's face and save the taxpayers the cost of a badly needed trial because of the outside chance we'd lose! Damn!!!
Bump for fightin' off the insideous liberals and their HCP/NCCP/Comunista schemes!
Thanks, but Arnold came along with that damned Sierra-Nevada CONservancy and just BLEW ALL MY EFFORTS TO HELL!!!
Oh well.
Then it's in God's hands, not yours! Right?
