You will recall that my big concern with "sound science" is who gets to control what that means. With government as powerful as it is in universities, that does not bode well for good stewardship. Further, the response time in legitimate cases of emergency is too slow with a system that is that bureaucratic. It could put landowners under a cloud of doubt for decades.

I think we do need habitat protection in this country, but we need to gradually privatize it so that the landowner has a stake in caring for habitat. We will get better work for less.

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.
