The dune sagebrush lizard is a 3-inch critter that lives only among stands of shinnery oak, which itself is a somewhat rare tree that lives only in the sandy soil on something like 4 million acres spread between Roswell, New Mexico and Midland, Texas. The area around Midland is known as the Permian Basin, and is one of the oldest and most prolific crude oil regions in North America.

Back in the 50’s all the land around Leveland Tex. was mesquite covered. When the soil bank came along they cleared the land and planted cotton. As soon as they could then they put it in the soil bank. The lizard didn’t mind.

The critters who need to be endangered are the environmental extremists in the Obama Interior Department. They are the ones who are trading scientific integrity for political partisanship. In case no one has noticed, they always seem to be trying to make these changes in states that voted against Obama. They are trying to kill the economies there in petty partisanship.
