Rather, the farmers were effectively put out of business — 90 percent of farms in the area being left entirely without water and thus condemned to total crop loss

The battle has never been about fish, or owls, or trees, for the enviro nutcakes it has always been about power and control. Salmon, wolves, and trees are mere tools for gaining more control of land.

The rural West will always lose these battles...there are more Congressmen in the Los Angeles area then there are in Idaho, Nevada, Montana, and Wyoming...states with huge "publically" owned land.
Most people in the US only have contact with the federal government on April 15...the rest of the nation doesn't give a hoot, (a little owl lingo) about private property rights battles in the West.

It is very fortunate that Free Republic is available to expose a few more people to what is happening in the West.

Exactly right. All else follows from the will to power of the Gramscian, Machiavellian totalists. Total power over every sphere of human thought, endeavor and spirit was, is, and remains their goal. Their very hubris, desperation and arrogance will force matters to a head.
