. Now, the Everglades restoration will go forward because Florida is going to need the water. There will be drilling in the eastern Gulf because Florida will need the natural gas. The limestone will be mined because Florida will need the cement. Sure, your group may be able make minor changes at the expense of the taxpayers throughout the country, but hey, whats wrong with screwing the taxpayers elsewhere.

My "group" is all for drilling and mining, we're for property rights, remember? Can you try to create at least one factual post, just humor me.

You talk about screwing the tax payer yet you want the feds to use huge amounts of tax payer money for land grabs and to pay off left enviro interests. You make no sense whatsoever and you have been factually deficient on nearly every post you've made on this issue. Do you bother to inform yourself or do you just come around and start blurting stuff out.

"Florida is going to need the water" my ass. If you're talking about the water diversion tentacle of this "restoration" octopus it's nothing but a boon for condo developers on the east coast. They're ruining one area of the state to keep political interests in another happy.

If they cut the levels of flow in the Caloosahathee to what they propose in the link above, it would be an economic and evironmental disaster. The brackish water would backfeed into the estuaries and most everything except mangroves. Not to mention that the added flow of fresh water into the Florida Bay would wreak havoc.

So never mind your "water flow" propaganda. That's a huge load of crap.

Factually deficient? The one overiding fact is that 900 people move to Florida everyday. You are entitled to your opinions, but it is not likely they will carry much weight in Florida.

AAA give it up. You can't fight a liberal with facts. They run and hide behind the "Mother Earth" motto. I'm sick of this. This envirowhacko thing is creeping up the West Coast of the state also. As they begin to make their moves on a countywide or citywide basis, I'll post from the local papers.
