It should be kept in mind that one of the core principles of the left is that some humans are a blight on the planet and must have their numbers significantly reduced. The elevation of the “interests” of lesser species over the welfare of some humans is a key tool in culling the human herd. This culling is never to be applied to the “best people” (i.e. - leftists) but to the hoi polloi whose loss is of no consequence because they lack the intelligence, education, connections and money to really matter.
Yes, they are the ELITE. Snub their noses at everyone else—especially if they aren’t in tune with their causes. Their line of reasoning is not really pro business, but pro natural environment, as they think it was before all the people ruined it. The issue of water for farming vs a fish habitat argument: I have discussed this with a few environmentalists and they opt for the fish. Line of thought is that the farmers should have known they were stealing water from this habitat but did it anyway! NO JOKE. I asked them if they grow their own vegetables then, and NO is the answer.
I read on another thread regarding this issue that Pelosi & co may be trying to render all that valuable farmland worthless in order to snatch it up at a later date and develop it.
The laws seem to have been written for the benefit of those in power and those who put them there. If that is true, then they are stealing from the people and starving them out in order to line their pockets and those of their supporters/cronies.
They resemble the soviets more and more everyday, IMHO. These people have been making these changes by slow degrees instead of overnight, but they are making them and the more power they get, the more changes will be made, more draconian, more sweeping.
This is not the America I grew up in. I feel like we are just a breath away from becoming a full on, socialist or communist country. It scares the heck out of me.
The tree is almost dead. It’s in dire need of a good soaking.
