Bow to your judicial masters.

Even the water you need to survive is in their hands.

Lol, I am used to ‘play on words’ on the forum. Sometimes it gets - very wordy!!

[SierraWasp]

Let’s see if this second ruling will finaly bring to a head the unworkability of the endangered species act. Let’s see if the uproar of having southern California households turn on an empty tap, and a major portion of the nation’s fresh fruit and vegetable food source wither from lack of water to the central valley or all those Hollywood types suffer from a lack of water for their pools.

Perhaps we can even stop the major diversion of the Trinity River from the Klamath system south to the central valley so we can use it to support local ESA listed coho and depressed stocks of chinook that have shut down fisheries for 700 miles of coast. Instead of blaming the Klamath Basin farmers for a lack of water and killing fish, we could actually retain the 60% of the Trinity flow now diverted and use that to restore natural flows.

You see, ESA is only implemented when it is the little guy. That way the public never sees the human consequences of the draconian measures actually required under the act - like turning off taps - or Klamath Basin headgates.

...and now that the whales have gone on their merry way, all the feckless are taking credit for their 'successful operation'.

'...And where does a 40 ton mammal go...?    
...Any where it wants to! ...one would certainly assume.'

[Seadog Bytes]

LOL! Those ‘flashers’ ...TOO funny!

[potlatch]

Thank YOU for that lovely ‘thank you’, Seadog!
