A minnow is a damn minnow no matter what fancy name you give to them. We’ve got so many minnows in this country that some places put them on pizza to get rid of them.

I guess humans are not “federally threatened” enough to get assistance from the gubbermint.

ACORN has registered every stinking minnow and is carrying them to the polls in fishbowls! Why not just todd a crappie or bass into the puddles and let nature take its course?

So these folk who "Breathe" Darwin's natural selection, are more than willing to step in and prevent their religious beliefs from fulfillment.

Why are they subverting Gaia's will for minnows? Gaia created the drought, she hates the minnows. /liberal mode off

I thought liberals believed in Darwin, and the Law of the fittest?.............

6 seconds between our replies, both mocking the liberal (lack of) mindset. Great minds, and all of that. ;)

Gotta wonder how much we’re paying for each minnow that was saved (or created)

You thought wrong
Scientists and rational people who have studied biology know that natural selection results in survival of species.
Being conservative or liberal is not involved in the issue

The same minnows are all over New Mexico, Arizona and other parts of Texas. During droughts of the past, even when all streams 'dry up', come next years rains and full flowing streams, the minnows are right back in huge numbers.
I used to net buckets of minnows (in the hills) to use for bait in lake fishing - and learned that even though the streams appear to be gone, little pools survive in great numbers, along with great numbers of minnows.
Problem is too many 'biologists' like these just have no long-term experience - and no clue about the nature of nature itself.
