Junk Science proves nothing. I live in an area that can be adversely affected by CERP. I have been involved and researching this for many years, and your one link is just a very small pitence of the Debate you wish to engage in.

If you have sat through as many meetings with the ARMY Corp of Engineers, and the SWFMD as I have your opinions may be different.

Although they are governmental agencies one State and one Federal, NGO's tend to run the meetings with there green agenda's.

Both of these agencies openly admit that the current plans for restoration could have negative impact on residential areas North of I-75 (alligator alley), and Bob Graham the Demorat who is still trying to push through Alternative D-6 will indeed force hundreds from their homes in the 8.5 square mile area in Dade County.

Not to mention the areas that will increase fresh water flows into the estuaries due to restoration will cause harmful bacteria to flow into the tidal waters in the 10,000 Islands. p> I am not opposed to some restoration just not what the current plan is.

The increased water will kill endangered species of land snails, and an abundant amount of other wild life. Please do a search of Glades Guru, (has lived in the everglades for decades) you may find some research he has done that might change your mind.

Also while your at it take a look at the Wildlands Project, and the United Nations Agenda 21. Smart Growth is wonderfull also if you prefer PUD's. I choose not to live in a Socialistic Gated Community. Where a veteran in Naples was told to remove his US Marine flag from his home.

It all is a matter of personal perspective, Some believe in the constitution of the United States, Freedom, and Property Rights, and other believe in the Green Agenda.

I lived in a private community in South Carolina for a while. They made me move out my beehives because that was "dangerous", to have bees flying about according to the judge. I was told I could no longer ride my horse on the "nature walk trails" because the horse disturbed nature.

I got even.....The community had listed itself as a bird sanctuary in some federal program, which gave the developer huge sums of money or tax dodges to design the place as bird friendly as possible. It was illegal to mess wit da birds in other words.

I bought a few hundred Guinea Hens and turkeys and about fifty peacocks thru a hatchery and raised them at a friends place for a few months. We then let them go throughout the community. All four thousand acres of it including an 18 hole golf course winding about.

The phone to city government rang off the hook with complaints of loud birds screaming at night, peacocks crapping all over peoples decks, and they had a hearing on how to get rid of the problem. I was able to get the state involved and they told the town that they could not trap, shoot, or harm those birds in any way.

If you are threatened by a green mafia action, use their own principles against them. If they want to flood your land, find some endangered dry-land critter to populate the area. The feds did it with just lynx hair. They didn't even need the whole lynx.
