I would say that you are ignorant as to what the situation is here in the West.

I would say that you are ignorant of what is going on globally.

I've seen it called "The War on the West" and it is.

Yup.

It leads back to the environazi idea of returning most of the land in the west to a state of wilderness and it has virtually nothing to do with corporate farming.

Equine feces. The globalists who fund the RICOnuts are heavily invested in offshore food production.

Good morning.
"The globalists who fund the RICOnuts are heavily invested in offshore food production."

It's probably true that I'm being naive.

I can't argue with you that globalists and the corporations that fund them work hand in glove with the environmentalists to determine how we will use our resources.

My response to greasepaint was to his/her belief that the small farmers and landholders who would suffer if the dams were breached were "millionaires" who were ripping him/her off. That description evokes images of corporate officers counting money rather than of family farms and shore front homes being destroyed or rendered useless.

I haven't checked, but I would bet that the same environazi groups that favor destruction of the Klamath dams also favor the destruction of Hetch Hetchy. Removing such a major source of water storage would hurt California's corporate farms and the cities of the Bay Area. They don't care, since removing the reservoir makes it possible for the region to one day revert to the natural wildness of it's neighbor, Yosemite. That's a tough one for me since I despise the theft of our water to feed the cities that provide the votes to control us. I'm not sure, but I think I may despise the environmentalists more.

If I'm reading you correctly, your contention is that the real reason for the War on the West is to remove the treasure to be found in our land and resources from use so that the real powers-that-be can turn a profit with the cheap labor and lack of regulation found offshore.

That's almost too scary for words.
