Protecting animal species is a good thing to do, but when it tramples property rights and impedes progress, it should be weighed accordingly. Kangaroo rats and snail darters shouldn't hold up important work.

Scientists say there are millions of extinct species, yet here we are. I think we'll survive just fine without a few rats, if it comes to that.

I look forward to the day when communists like Obama are an endangered species. Unfortunately, they are abundant like locusts.

Rather they should be bbqed and cleared out to make way for progress.

The ESA was created by politicians in the pocket of pepole who needed a vehicle to kill progress. These same whacko’s have gained near absolute power in the leftist run dem party.

I understand that wildlife biologists say that species die off every yr and have been from the beginning of time. New species are discovered every yr. However, the environmentalist wackos don't tell us this

If Bush had any brains he’d start coming out in favor of “various” things 80 percent America is FOR and wait for Obama to be AGAINST whatever that was.. then do it again and again... The Obama compaign would self destruct trying to bury itself keeping up..

The Associated Press reported Monday details of a proposal by the Interior and Commerce departments that would change how the 1973 law is implemented, allowing federal agencies to decide for themselves - without seeking the opinions of government wildlife experts...

I think AP writer has a bit of a leftist tilt....

“Progress” these days usually consists of more shopping malls and parking lots.

“In recent years, both federal agencies and developers have complained that the reviews, which can result in changes to projects that better protect species, have delayed work and increased costs...”

If developers (an oxy-moron) had their way, there would be no regulations whatsoever. Just plow everything under and cover it with concrete.
