-—Regardless of the majority here that think that being conservative means a license to destroy ground water, and damage people in the process.-—

That is a posting which has the echoes of a very liberal thought process in it. We here want to conserve a clean environment, but we are constantly assaulted with environmental nazis that want to have a cleaner than natural environment and stomp out all economic activity and ultimately reduce the numbers of polluting humans. I have worked in industry where the emissions were literally required to be cleaner than natural rainwater.

You may applaud the decision but I live in a dairy producing area and I’d like to know a lot more about the actual impact of farms like this before unleashing more greedy lawyers and enviro lawfare profiteers. Balancing this with the possibility that 10 years from now, the enviro-nazis will have individually sued every productive, intensive farm out of business, causing the price of milk ‘to necessarily skyrocket’.

I consider myself to be conservative in the true sense of the word.

I will never understand people who call themselves conservative and then use that as an excuse to not give a Crap about the environment in any way shape or form. Because doing so equate a person to extremest like Green peace or Peta types whom I can stand or even sometimes despise.

Being conservative means I don’t let the rest of you bully me for caring about something that can be proven to really mater. And you are deceptive when you say that you only want an environment that is normal, but no cleaner than normal. Because until factory farming came along there was no problem at all in most places even with dozens of farms within a few square miles. Hundreds of heads of cattle everywhere and no water contamination...And that was natural. There is nothing normal or natural about factory farming or the way it makes use of the land. It is a get rich quick scheme with no concern for the future.
