Wrongo! California is now instituting TMDLs for nonpoint sources of silt under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
I would think that this child's family would have a strong wrongful death case against EF and many other enviral orgs, but it's likely that the parents are cut out of the same RED mold (or is it mould :o)
There was a treehugger on NY State land...chained himself to a tree. Hubby asked him to unchain himself, because the State Forestry Dept wanted that tree cut. The guy pretended to swallow the key. Hubby went around the back side of the tree and proceded to begin notching it. The speed at which the nut regurgitated that key was INCREDIBLE.
Treehuggers ARE dangerous, and not just from tresspassing. They do really deadly things like pulling their pregnant roller skates in front of fully loaded log trucks heading down steep hills, then slowing way down!!!
They bungee jump off over passes and try to kick the windshields of log trucks. They burn houses which they say are encroaching on nature.
They're dangerous...they're terrorists.
True. Leave the cutting thinning of treehuggers out of our forests to the licensed professionals <G>
I saw one that was as flat as a pancake from doing just that on a logging road near Healdsburg.
Yes they are terrorists, and we sorely need a zero tolerance policy on Environmentalism. - It has cost us far more than the WTC attack has, and will continue to do so.
I hope that TERRORISTIC THREATS are still against the law in Kalifornia.
Many of us, if not ALL of us, DO understand that the public school system, and later (if they get that far) institutions of higher learning have and continue to brainwash our youth.
HOWEVER...these kids consider themselves the intellectual elite of this country. They believe that the world would be a real Utopia if only we would turn the reigns of power to them, because THEY know the truth.
They have libraries. They have Internet access....do they do any deeper research once they reach the age of consent (at which age they are responsible for their actions, including reckless endanderment and tresspassing) ?
No, they do not. They're not THAT brainwashed. They're more INDOCTRINATED into the leftist ideology of "Socialsm would have worked if only the right people were in power."
If they can study Marx, they can study forestry managent. They can use empirical evidence to see for themselves whether the concepts that they embrace are really working. They do not.
In other words, they DO bear at least SOME of the responsibility for their actions. NOW...LETS GO AFTER THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Well, now that it's gone beyond the border of conjectural distance and into reality, I'd like to express my sincere sympathy for the boy's family. I hope they are not proud of the way he met his death.
What a waste.
GROOOOAAN!!! California...where they stuck goats into high fuel areas (2000) because they wouldn't allow thinning or clearing of brush. I should have known. ( I raised goats for years...they eat weeds ans saplings, not dead underbrush)
They're not THAT brainwashed.
No, they ARE that brainwashed, via cognitive dissonance, behavior control drugs, television, video games, magazines, group pressure sessions... In every sense of the word, especially in terms of its duration and the fact that the omnipotent State and the media culture are both placed above parents in the child's world hierarchy, it is worse than brainwashing; It is brain-molding.
They're more INDOCTRINATED into the leftist ideology of "Socialsm would have worked if only the right people were in power."
Actually that is the line from about five years ago. The new one is, "Socialism has been perfected since the fall of the Soviet Union."
Uh... What I meant to say was, I am deeply saddened.
That's called background erosion, or bedload. The bureaucrats routinely grossly under-estimate bedload so that they can set attainment targets that can't be met. It keeps them in business forever.
Yep. That little tactic caused several deaths, because they don't understand the first law of motion any better than they understand gravity.
Imagine thinking that 80,000 pounds can stop at the same speed and over the same distance as a VW Bug.
I suppose the reason I'm not sure they are that brainwashed is that I refused to be...I have always done independent research - I'm not the most trusting of souls - and I passed that need for independent research on to my kids...who have turned out quite conservative.
Those kids can't be that brainwashed unless their parents aided and abbetted the brainwashers.
