If you disagree with my hypothetical, how can you argue it?

Either you would call in the bulldozers or you wouldn't. I don't believe all those who say they would, would.

leadpenney, will you continue to defend the red legged frogs, when we document that they are not endangered?

When in fact they are another EPA bad science nightmare created by the enviral nazis you love over your fellow citizens.

Or will you say back off to the enviral nazis, and let the citizens handle their property as good stewards?

Or will you as most puffed up enviralists ignore the good science and go with the bad science used for rural cleansing of Americans and removal of their property for the red legged frogs, spotted owls, short nosed sucker fish, silver salmon so thick they have to be killed with baseball bats and other lies even if the Red Legged Frogs are not endangered?

This is the real discussion not your enviral trick question. How will you respond when real science shows that the lies of the red legged shortage?

If your point here is that your hypothetical was ridiculous and completely impossible and therefore had zero relevance to the real world, then I'll agree.

Either you would call in the bulldozers or you wouldn't.

I would call in the bulldozers. But not in your hypothetical (which CANNOT EXIST).

Again (since it didn't seem to sink in the first time), you cannot know with absolute certainty that such-and-such group of critters is the last group of their species on earth. You simply can't.

A more realistic scenario is this: The government - or rather, ideologues who work for one department of the government - informs you that your pond contains the last surviving colony of such-and-such critter (according to their records, or their database, or the latest memo they received, or the latest "List" of "Endangered" species drafted up by some lawyers they pay...)

That would be a more realistic and informative hypothetical scenario for discussion. Question number one would be: Do you believe the government on such matters? Is the government always right?

Does the government, especially enviro-ideologues in its pay, have a great track record in stewardship of the environment?

I know the answers to these questions, and I think you do too. But if you prefer to gaze dreamily upon your Completely-Impossible Hypothetical, go right ahead....
