Bill Would Require Scientific Proof for Applying Endangered Species Act

If you want, I'll repost that article of mine that Henry Lamb ran in eco-logic.

I had just pinged someone to this one the other day.

I've gone ahead and re-pinged everyone to it in light of this article.

Comments?

I don't know much about it yet, but it would seem that giving the Secretary of the Interior (like a Babbit) this kind of pull doesn't solve a lot. I for one would like to see the ESA go away or be drastically changed.

I would be interested to know what Chuck Cushman thought about this, his people are good at picking apart legislation.

Protect Private Property Rights!

Stop the attacks on our Freedoms by the wacko, extreme left-wing, lunatic fringe, dirt worshipping Green Jihadist, enviro-nazis terrorist's and their toadies in the media!

Protect The Forest...Eradicate The Greenies!

Fighting Irresponsible Radical Environmentalism!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For!

Not only should there be scientific proof when applying the fascist ESA, there needs to be publication in scientific journals of the need for land restrictions so it may be peer reviewed. (And "deep ecology" is not a recognized disciple; it's blood and soil nature worship, so deep ecology journals are out!)

Further, the ESA should be applied only to the collectivized, socialist government land, not private property. And if the ESA is applied to private land, the taxpayer must compensate the land owner with a price reflecting the fullest and best use of that land, as determined by the affected land owner. No exceptions, and it's not reviewable by any bureaucrat or court.

Further, any bureaucrat, judge or politician that has in the past taken private property under the ESA without paying compensation will be subject to seizure of all his property, wages and accounts by affected landowners. Failure by these people to turn over all assets within 24 hours of a judgement would be sentenced to 50 years in prison somewhere in northern Alaska.

Finally, any so-called environmental group or foundation that aided in the seizure of private property under the fascist ESA would be subject to pay damage claims at 50 times the court determined damages. And these courts would be manned only by individuals who own property and work the land. Lawyers need not apply, unless they hate the ESA.

I have more, but I'll quit for now.
