Ok, I'll take you up on that deal...when you're done cleaning up and 'restoring' the Everglades to their 'gloriously pristine state', can we start on whatever ecosystem *used* to exist where you live now? (Once the UN/Wildlands goobs cleanse the rural peasants they'll start on the suburban ones, look for Maurice Strong quotes on the 'unsustainability' of the wretched existence that is suburbia).

IF you're going to 'clean up and restore' the Everglades are you also going to give it to the Seminoles and other natives the white man *stole* it from to begin with?

Where I live now was all mangrove swamp originally. I too live on land fill in Fort Lauderdale. It was filled in the 1940's and developed about that time also. The east coast of Florida from Miami to Palm Beach has been over developed over the years.

I'm not sure what you want me to say. Do I think the government is going to displace every home owner in inhabited areas of Dade and Broward County? No, I don't. Do I think developers who are eating up the Everglades may be targeted? Yes, I do. And why does it make you so angry to think of a Prestine Everglades again. Are you angry at the Indians living on a Hillock in the Glades? The Seminole owned millions of acres of the Everglades and the Chief ( a woman) sold a million acres to the state in the last 30 years, and used the money to educate the children of the tribe. They still live on land they own in the Everglades.
What is your problem? Until the sale of that land the Seminole were still formally at war with the government, a peace treaty never having been signed.

Why does it anger anybody to see the everglades cleaned up?
Or, do you just not know what you are talking about other than Hate Gov't. rants.
